<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, I was diagnosed with psoriasis about three years ago. I find that every scrap or cut I have heals pink like a scar. Also, during my flare ups, my skin becomes discolored. I know this is normal, and I use calcipotriene dovonex topical ointment, but I was wondering if tanning will help subside this redness.  <response>: Hello, Thanks for the query, Psoriasis cannot be totally cured. It can be only controlled. You can use steroid creams to control this. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. And get the medication prescribed. Let me know if you have any other doubt.
