Has anyone ever cleared up psoriasis?

Controllable: Like many chronic diseases psoriasis can be controlled but not cured. Some folks do enjoy complete clearing, or nearly so. I encourage you to explore new options to treat with your dermatologist.

Absolutely: Achieving 100% is often challenging, but with treatment, 95% clearance is a very reasonable goal.
