Can scalp psoriasis be managed and cured long-term?

I would like to know about scalp psoriasis. It is showing up as thick flakes, falling off at 30 yrs age. Is this condition manageable? Can it be cured? What can it develop into after 10 years or later? Thanks.

Scalp psoriasis can make your scalp red, itchy, and have thick scales. It cannot be cured but can be controlled. Treatments like medicated shampoos, creams, and light therapy can help alleviate the symptoms. If left untreated, it can cause hair loss or joint pain. It is essential to collaborate with a dermatologist to discover the most suitable treatment strategy for you.

Female | 19

Darker skin and dark spots can occur from excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation. This issue can be solved by the application of skin whitening and brightening treatments which contain substances such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or kojic acid. Also, think about treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy to aid in the removal of dark spots. To ensure your skin's safety, always wear sunscreen to shield it from the sun and other harmful rays.

How to remove chicken pox dark spot

Male | 29

Dark spots after chicken pox are known as scars. The­y appear when pox blisters he­al. Don't worry too much, most fade over time. To spe­ed up fading, try using creams or oils made for scars. Also, prote­ct skin from the sun, as it darkens scars.
