Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by red, raised patches covered with silvery-white scales. It occurs when the immune system triggers rapid skin cell turnover, leading to thickened, irritated and flaky skin. Psoriasis can affect any part of the body including elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, hands or nails. Symptoms may vary from …

Causes and Triggering Factors

Psoriasis is believed to be influenced by an immune response and genetic background. Multiple factors can aggravate symptoms or trigger flare rounds, such as:

  • Family history

  • Seasonal changes

  • Stress

  • Skin injuries

  • Infections

  • Certain medications

  • Hormonal variations

  • Lifestyle influences

Triggers differ for every individual, which is why a structured assessment helps in building a personalised treatment approach.

Types of Psoriasis We Treat

Psoriasis presents in different forms and requires accurate identification to plan suitable care. We provide treatment for:

  • Plaque psoriasis

  • Scalp psoriasis

  • Nail psoriasis

  • Guttate psoriasis

  • Inverse psoriasis

  • Palm and sole psoriasis

  • Extended inflammatory patches

Each case is evaluated for patch depth, scaling intensity, spreading behaviour and skin sensitivity.


Treatment Options for Psoriasis

The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms, control inflammation and limit flare repetition.

Clinical Medications

Dermatologist-recommended topical or oral medicines help reduce scaling, redness and irritation.

Moisture Retention and Barrier Care

Skin barrier stabilisation methods support hydration, reduce cracking and improve comfort.

Light-Based Therapy

In selected cases, light-based therapy may be advised to manage chronic flare cycles and support long-term control.

Targeted Management Programs

Treatment plans may include immune-modulating, anti-inflammatory and maintenance routines based on medical history and severity.


Expected Improvement and Response Timeline

Psoriasis is a long-term condition, and treatment progress is gradual. Many patients begin noticing reduced scaling, less itching and better skin flexibility during therapy. Flare cycles become shorter and symptoms more manageable over time. Duration of treatment depends on severity, triggers and individual response patterns. Consistency with medical guidance plays a major role in maintaining stability.


Lifestyle Support and Daily Care Measures

Daily care contributes significantly to comfort and flare prevention. Hydration, careful cleansing, stress control, controlled use of fragrance-free skincare and avoiding excessive heat exposure support healthier skin. Preventing dryness, protecting vulnerable areas and following prescribed routines help maintain calmer skin behaviour.
