It is not permanently curable and will keep coming. Psoriasis is considered an incurable, long-term (chronic) skin condition. It has a variable course, periodically improving and worsening. It is not unusual for psoriasis to spontaneously clear for years and stay in remission. Many people note a worsening of their symptoms in the colder winter months.Psoriasis is a genetic disease so it is not contagious but can be transmitted from parent to offsprings. It is characterized by a hyperproliferative epidermis (outer most layer of skin) which may appear after local injury or after a streptoccocal infection. Some drugs have been identified to exacerbate (flare up) the disease that includes lithium, Non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), betablockers abd iodides
