There are now a number of excellent treatments for psoriasis. Discuss with your Derm. Psoriasis can have serious long term effects on your health.

Is this a self diagnosis of psoriasis? Sometimes the two are confused. Psoriasis often affects the back of the elbows& front of the knees, while eczema often affects the folds of the elbows and knees. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for best advice.and treatment
