Greetings.Please note :
1. To the best of my knowledge of recent advances, no such cure exists in science yet for psoriasis
2. HOWEVER, please note that the disease can be adequately controlled and you can lead a normal life. You'll need regular medications which can be stopped and checked after adequate control is obtained.
3. Don't get lured into any treatment claiming "cure of psoriasis" .
4. Dont use clobetasol cream without advise of the doctor for years together - obvously u have landed up with side effects of stretch marks - these marks are tough to treat. Stop cloetasol immediately and see a qualified dermatologist,
hope this helps. Warm regards
