Re: Can you get rid of Excema and/ Psoriasis?

Both eczema and psoriasis are considered to be chronic inflammatory skin conditions. Whilst they may improve for long periods of time, the underlying tendency towards these conditions remains and a flare-up is always possible. Generally speaking, treatments tend to be geared toward "control" rather than permanent "cure".

I hope this answers your question!

Best wishes,
