Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by rapid skin cell growth, resulting in red, inflamed patches covered with silvery scales. It can cause discomfort, itching, and in severe cases, pain.

Treatment Options

Topical Treatments:

These include corticosteroids, Vitamin D analogues, and retinoids, which help reduce inflammation and slow down skin cell production.

Phototherapy:

This involves exposure to ultraviolet light under medical supervision, helping to control psoriasis symptoms.

Systemic Medications:

For more severe cases, oral or injected medications such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, and biologics can be prescribed to target the immune system.
