Symptoms of psoriasis

Does psoriasis heal? That’s today’s question, right there. Eli Echezaga, who asked us the question, added something else. It says: I’ve had psoriasis for a long time and I’ve always been told it can’t be cured, but it’s gone for me. Does psoriasis heal?

Well, we're sorry to say, Eli, but psoriasis doesn't heal. Sometimes it happens that it disappears spontaneously for a while, but sooner or later it reappears. I'm sure something like this would have happened to you.

Psoriasis is the result of a defect in the growth of skin cells. Skin cells grow inside the skin and emerge approximately once a month. Because this process occurs more quickly in people with psoriasis, dead cells build up on the skin. This is why flakes, reddish spots on the skin, etc. appear.

Psoriasis is a common disease and, although it has never been thought otherwise, it is not contagious. It is inherited, given by parents to their children, and, as we have said before, incurable. However, if the cases are not very serious, they are treated with different creams and with appropriate hygiene measures, and a normal life is carried out. Work from there, as always, for the doctor.
