It's a genetic disorder. Permanent cure is not available at the moment.

Being specialist in Molecular Medicine I can suggest alternatives that can prolong the reoccurance for relatively longer time.

Thanks for your question. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder and basically is a domain of a dermatologist. There is no permanent cure for this disease. It can relapse any time. Following are a few treatment options depending upon the severity of disease:
1. Topical treatments: These are the first line of treatment for mild to moderate cases to reduce inflammatory process. Topical agents include ointments, lotions, steroids, vitamin D analogs, retinoids, salicylic acid or coal tar.
2. Phototherapy: This treatment involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet light. PUVA (psoralen plus UVA) therapy is another type of phototherapy that involves taking a light-sensitizing medication (psoralen) before exposure to UVA light.
3. Systemic medications: These are used to treat severe disease and include methotrexate, cyclosporine, acitretin, and apremilast. Biologic drugs, such as TNF-alpha inhibitors (e.g., etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab), IL-17 inhibitors (e.g., secukinumab, ixekizumab), and IL-23 inhibitors (e.g., guselkumab, risankizumab), are also used to treat psoriasis.
4. Oral retinoids: They are synthetic forms of vitamin A and are used for severe cases or used as an alternative for refractory cases.
5. Biologic therapies: These are relatively newer drugs to treat moderate to severe psoriasis.
If you consult a Dermatologist who is experienced enough in managing psoriasis, he or she may prescribe you any one of the above treatment choices or combination of any two. Hope the answer is of any help for you. Regards
