I am 17 y/o and I developed genital psoriasis in the butt area where I had ringworms when I was 13 and after they got treated it was good for only 2 years after which I developed psoriasis. When it was the beginning of the disease I couldn't differentiate it from ringworm. So I began treating it as ringworm and began taking ringworm medications after noticing no improvement after years. I understood that its a different disease and later on I identified it as psoriasis. Currently I have been able to control the flare ups by applying moisturizer after bathing and applying coconut oil in the night but after half a year. I have a medical test for a military exam and I need it to be healed. I know that it may seem silly because there has been no permanent treatment found till date but I need guidance of medicine and diet that I should follow to treat it even if the slightest chances exist. Thank you for listening to me.
