Answer:

"Psoriasis can be cured with steroids."

Explanation:

Psoriasis cannot be cured with steroids. Topical steroid therapy only works to reduce inflammation caused by psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease that can be controlled with treatment, but there is no cure. However, the symptoms may disappear for some time and then return. It is not possible to predict with certainty when the crises will manifest themselves. Psoriasis goes through seemingly random cycles of improvement and worsening of symptoms. Moisturizing the skin helps relieve symptoms, but the therapeutic approach needs to be targeted at each type and intensity of psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a very common skin disease that is characterized by red and scaly lesions, usually in plaques. These plaques appear most often on the scalp, elbows, and knees, but feet, hands, nails, and the genital region can also be affected. The extent of psoriasis ranges from small localized lesions to involvement of the entire skin.
