Dear ma'am topical steroids are mainstay in psoriasis but systemic steroids are a big no. Psoriasis is one condition which does'nt go off completely, so once you have it, it is best to keep it under control psoriasis increases: 1. With stress 2. Alcohol consumption 3. With increase in weight 4. During winters 5. With smoking 6. Hugh carbohydrate diet. So kindly avoid these excercise regularly if you have diabetes keep it in control take care.
