Will genital psoriasis go away on its own? - #60746
I am dealing with this really uncomfortable situation. Like, I just found out that the psoriasis I thought was just on my elbows has popped up in my genital area. It's freaking me out! Is it normal to get psoriasis on your genital area? I mean, I never thought it could spread there. I have been using some over-the-counter creams, but honestly, I’m not sure if they’re doing anything. What cream is good for genital psoriasis? I went to the pharmacy, and there were so many options, I just stood there staring like an idiot. Also, I have heard that genital psoriasis might go away on its own, but is that actually true? I keep finding myself googling stuff like, “Will genital psoriasis go away on its own?” and it’s honestly making me more anxious. And I heard somewhere that there might be a link between HPV and psoriasis — is that something I should be worried about? Ugh, so many questions, and I’m just feeling lost here. Any advice would help a ton!
