Sometimes I wonder if it might be possible to forget that psoriasis is causing my scalp to itch throughout the day.  Would it be possible to become accustomed with any kind of chronic issue such as pain or skin irritation to the point that I don’t notice it anymore?

I suppose if this were possible, then a lot of other medicine would become unnecessary (pain killers for example).

I have found that it is possible to resist itching for a while, but not forever.  Eventually the urge becomes too much, almost like a pain, to the point that I absolutely must scratch my psoriasis infected scalp.  This is why is it vital to find treatments that prevent itching in the first place, so that I won’t have to itch and thus cause continual damage to my skin (a side effect of which is accelerated hair loss).
