My 2 year old has been diagnosed with psoriasis polaris. i've tried all creams but nothing helps. is there anything being done to cure this disease.

Define it: Do you mean KERATOSIS PILARIS???? This is quite different from psoriasis. What did the DR say? KP is rough, dry skin mostly on upper arms. Often on thighs as well. Genetic. Moisturizers soften/ smooth this. Look for a cream with CERAMIDES and rub in soon after a long bath. Some people like salicylic acid creams.
