Just to answer your main question, there is not a cure for psoriasis. There are medications, both topical (applied directly to the skin/scalp) and oral (taken by mouth) steroids that help. The dermatologists always recommend shampoos like T-Gel (coal tar mixture) and stress leaving it on for at least five to ten minutes before washing it off. The only thing that I had found that will cause all of the psoriasis on my scalp to disappear is laying in the tanning bed. I only have it on my scalp and have had it for about 12 years. As a teen in high school, I tanned a lot and never had a problem w/ it. When I got older and in college, I decided not to tan because it is bad for the skin and the psoriasis came back. I tried several prescription medications (one burnt like fire, the other was pure grease) and didn't like either. So, I go to the tanning bed about once a week and just lay my head in it and cover my face as to not increase my risk of skin cancer so much. The ultraviolet light helps a lot. When you shampoo, remember to do it twice in a row. Shampoo your head once, rinse, shampoo again, rinse, and only condition the very ends. Try not to pick at your head, and definitely wash it everyday. There have been times in my life when I have washed my hair in the morning and at night.
Eczema is your body's issue of not being able to retain moisture in your own skin. Thus you have dry skin patches. You can use lotions which treat the symptom. If you want to treat the root causes one which is very likely to be your skin not getting enough vitamins. Then you may want to take something like GNC: Digestive Health Powder. It contains prebiotics, PRObiotics and digestive enzymes that help BREAKDOWN and ABSORB the nutrients from your food better. All your organs improve especially the largest one that takes a large amount of vitamins... YOUR SKIN. Take a product like this for about a week. You may be VERY surprised at the improvement. If so ..keep taking it along with a multivitamin and fish oil which is very good for the skin.
Emu oil is a good topical to try to reduce symptoms further.
Good Luck
