Psoriasis is chronic: Unfortunately, psoriasis is treatable, but not curable. Symptoms can be minimized by prescription medications, but intermittent flares should be expected. A dermatologist should be able to work with you to find a treatment plan that offers you some relief.

See your Dr: Your doctor can prescribe topical steroids and, if a fungus is considered, antifungals. Light and laser therapy may also be of benefit. Please see your doctor :)
