Hello 
to Psoriasis Club.
No point in giving you false hope, so lets get on with it. Yes you will have it for the rest of your life. However that doesn't mean it can't be managed, but I'm telling you that because although it can go into remission there is a very high chance that it will come back and there is no 100% cure.
Once you get in managed on your penis it can still come back or may appear on another part of your body. So it's all about finding the right thing that works for you, this can be a long process starting with creams, light, pills and injections in that order.
Having it on the penis is very frustrating and can have a big impact on your quality of life, but it can go away from the penis and it's just a matter of playing around with different creams to get it sorted.
#1 I'm a big fan of Coconut Oil use this twice a day and it will help a lot. You can use it whilst using your prescribed treatment too. (*be careful if you use condoms as coconut oil can possibly damage latex)
#2 You could try Dovnex that can work well on the penis. (*do not confuse it with Dovobet) Dovobet And Dovonex (What's the difference ?)
#3 Wear loose fitting cotton underwear, and avoid scratching or chafing as much as possible.
I hope that helps a bit, and don't hesitate to ask as I'm sure most men and women with psoriasis have or will have to put up with genital psoriasis some time.
Regards.
Fred.
