Psoriasis is a skin condition that is recently thought to be an auto-immune response.  Psoriasis develops when skin cells rapidly grow and don't give the older skin cells a chance to flake off.  Normally you would be referred to a dermatologist.

If it is psoriasis, it should respond to anti-fungal cream (not anti-bacterial).\n\nIf this does help, check out the yeast link at www.hufa.org for more info on the candida albicans fungus.

Treatment\nSpecialist dermatologists generally treat psoriasis in steps based on the severity of the disease, size of the areas involved, type of psoriasis, and the patient's response to initial treatments. This is sometimes called the "1-2-3" approach. In step 1, medicines are applied to the skin (topical treatment). Step 2 uses ultraviolet light treatments (phototherapy). Step 3 involves taking medicines by mouth or injection that treat the whole immune system (called systemic therapy).\n\nOver time, affected skin can become resistant to treatment, especially when topical corticosteroids are used. Also, a treatment that works very well in one person may have little effect in another. Thus, doctors often use a trial-and-error approach to find a treatment that works, and they may switch treatments periodically (for example, every 12 to 24 months) if a treatment does not work or if adverse reactions occur.\n\nTopical treatment\nTreatments applied directly to the skin may improve its condition. Doctors find that some patients respond well to ointment or cream forms of corticosteroids, vitamin D3, retinoids, coal tar, or anthralin. Bath solutions and moisturizers may be soothing, but they are seldom strong enough to improve the condition of the skin. However they help with the penetration of additonal stronger remedies and so maximise the effectiveness of combination therapy. In additon steroids and calcipotriol may cause an initial burning sensation if applied to dry skin.\n\nMoisturizers\nWhen applied regularly over a long period, moisturizers have a soothing effect. Preparations that are thick and greasy ([[ointment]s]) usually work best because they seal water in the skin, reducing scaling and itching.\n\nBath solutions\nPeople with psoriasis may find that adding oil when bathing, then applying a moisturizer, soothes their skin. Also, individuals can remove scales and reduce itching by soaking for 15 minutes in water containing a coal tar solution, oiled oatmeal, Epsom salts, or Dead Sea salts.\n\nSalicylic acid\nSalicylic acid is a peeling agent, which is available in many forms such as ointments, creams, gels, and shampoos, can be applied to reduce scaling of the skin or scalp. Often, it is more effective when combined with topical corticosteroids, anthralin, or coal tar.\n\nCoal tar\nPreparations containing coal tar (gels and ointments) may be applied directly to the skin, added (as a liquid) to the bath, or used on the scalp as a shampoo. Coal tar products are available in different strengths, and many are sold over the counter (not requiring a prescription). It is less effective than corticosteroids and many other treatments and, therefore, is sometimes combined with ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy for a better result. Coal tar has an effect on some of the enzymes involved in psoriasis, and it increases the skin's sensitivity to light. The most potent form may irritate the skin, is messy, has a strong odor, and may stain the skin or clothing. Thus, it is not popular with many patients.\n\nCorticosteroids\nThese drugs reduce inflammation and the turnover of skin cells, and they suppress the immune system. Available in different strengths, topical corticosteroids (e.g., hydrocortisone) are usually applied to the skin twice a day. Short-term treatment is often effective in improving, but not completely eliminating, psoriasis. Long-term use or overuse of highly potent (strong) corticosteroids can cause thinning of the skin, internal side effects, and resistance to the treatment's benefits. If less than 10 percent of the skin is involved, some doctors will prescribe a high-potency corticosteroid ointment (e.g. Clobetasol propionate). High-potency corticosteroids may also be prescribed for plaques that don't improve with other treatment, particularly those on the hands or feet. In situations where the objective of treatment is comfort, medium-potency corticosteroids may be prescribed for the broader

There are lots of treatments for excema and psoriasis including creams, tablets, injections & UV light treatment.\n\nThere are laser treatments but it's normally only done for people with extremely severe psoriasis not excema as it can lead to worse problems than the excema it is treating, you could probably get it done privately altho that would be very expensive.\n\nA dermatologist (skin doctor) will be able to give you creams (always prescribed first of all) many cases of excema are cleared with these creams, the tablets & light treatment are for severe cases again due to the possible worse side effects such as liver failure (certain tablets) and permenant skin damage due to the light treatments.\n\nGive the doctor prescribed skin creams a try first, the side effects of the other treatments can be worse than the skin condition it's treating

It has a treatment, and possibly a cure.  If you know the medical term then you probably know a urologist.  What do you really want to know?

How weird, my mom just had this, and I had never heard about it before that. All the above is correct, but I just wanted to add that you ought to get it treated soon and change your diet around accordingly. My mom almost died from it, which is unheard of, and she ended up having a foot of intestine being taken out. Watch out! It can get pretty damn serious.
