Q: I have chronic psoriasis on my both heels and neighbouring area around the heel with fissures which bleeds and pains intensely when pressure is applied on the feet. This is since 4 years. I have tried allopathic treatment but it didn't work. Since the last 5 months I have been taking homeopathic medicine but I have got rid of the itching only, but the fissures come out frequently accompanied by skin hardness and pain. I only get temporary relief when I dip my leg in saline hot water as suggested by the doctor. Is it completely curable? I am facing a lot of problem due to this. Recently I am feeling itching near the knee area with development of white patches. I am applying betnovate-n cream but it is not healing. Please advise.
