A friend of mine named Benny Wiryadi MD,PhD an expert in psoriasis talked about the story behind this autoimmun process of the disease.It is along way and of a long list of treatments of psoriasis :creams,ointments,lotions,shampoos etc.(topical) and oral psoralen,injections(systemic),phototherapies(ultraviolet).
Patients come and go to consult the doctor with a hope to have a longer remission.
