Many people have been told that there is no cure for psoriasis and for this reason there is no point in trying to treat the skin disorder. Because psoriasis is a genetic disorder, it is true there is no cure for it. Certainly, we cannot cure psoriasis in the same sense that we can cure an infection with antibiotics so that the problem is laid to rest forever. This does not mean that psoriasis cannot or should not be treated.
On the contrary there is a wide range of very effective treatments that will bring psoriasis under control and enable the individual to lead a normal life. (A major concern with all forms of psoriasis cures is that of side effects. This ia a different issue and will be discussed later.)
Remissions are obtained with treatment, but no doctor can guarantee that an individual will never be troubled by psoriasis again in the future.
