I'm no expert, but it does take time. I'm sure you know that Calamine Lotion is the primary drying/healing agent, but you will still be driven NUTS by the itching UNLESS you add a 1 oz. tube of Hydrocortosone cream (OTC) to the 6 ounce bottle of Calamine Lotion. This means a new container, as you will want to add water if it doesn't mix easily and well. .... say1/4 of the volume of the mix, to start, and go higher until YOU are happy with its application viscosity. Use a small battery driven "drink mixer", or similar means to make the "cream" smooth and frothy and you'll need a larger container to bottle the increased volume of water and Hydrocortosone. I suggest application with say, a 3/4 inch wide artists brush. Works great for me, and doesn't waste the material. I'd guess that it takes about a month to clear up this form of psoriasis - give or take a week or two, but the action towards healing is quite apparent once this combo is applied.

Why does your back suddenly itch then go away?

Sudden itching in the back could be caused by various reasons, such as dry skin, allergic reactions, insect bites, or irritation from clothing or environmental factors. The itching might go away quickly if you scratch the area, but it could also disappear on its own if the underlying cause resolves itself. If itching persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it would be best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
