I have psoriasis on my elbow and its not that much, I actually bought some sort of cream for it and put it on every night and it keeps it down, if i dont put it on for a few days it starts getting worse but as long as I just put the stuff on again it makes it go away a bit but I can never get it to completely go away, and as Ive read theres no actual cure for psoriasis. But I was wondering if a doctor actually cut the skin off that its on, would that get rid of it? not just the scaly skin, but the skin thats under that even.
Hello dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query and understood your concern. Psoriasis as you read correctly is a controllable disease but not a curable disease. For limited area involvement, topical moderate to strong potency steroid with or without salicylic acid is advised. That will control the flare, but won't prevent it from recurrence. Trauma is a triggering factor for the same. So any kind of surgery will augment the disease only. Put a good amount of moisturizers over body to prevent Chat Doctor.  Stay healthy.
