Overview

Psoriasis Treatment

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes raised, red, scaly patches on the skin. It can affect any part of the body, but commonly appears on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. While there’s no cure for psoriasis, effective treatment can significantly improve your quality of life and manage flare-ups. At Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic, our experienced dermatologist is dedicated to providing comprehensive and personalized psoriasis treatment plans to help you achieve clearer, healthier skin.

Understanding Psoriasis:

Psoriasis occurs when the immune system sends faulty signals, causing skin cells to grow too quickly. This rapid growth results in the thick, red, and scaly patches characteristic of the condition. Psoriasis can be triggered by various factors, including genetics, stress, infections, and certain medications.

Types of Psoriasis:

Plaque psoriasis: The most common type, causing raised, red, scaly patches on the skin.
Guttate psoriasis: Small, red, teardrop-shaped lesions often triggered by a bacterial infection.
Inverse psoriasis: Smooth, red, inflamed patches in skin folds like the armpits and groin.
Pustular psoriasis: White pustules surrounded by red, inflamed skin.
Erythrodermic psoriasis: Severe form causing widespread redness, peeling, and burning of the skin.
Psoriatic arthritis: Can affect joints and tendons, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling.

Symptoms of Psoriasis:

Red, raised, scaly patches on the skin
Itching and burning sensation
Dry, cracked skin
Bleeding from scratching
Thickened nails
Stiff and swollen joints (in psoriatic arthritis)

Psoriasis Treatment at Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic:

At Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic, we understand that psoriasis affects everyone differently. We will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the type and severity of your psoriasis and develop a personalized treatment plan. Our treatment options may include:

Topical medications: Corticosteroid creams are the first line of defense, reducing inflammation and itching. Other topical options include retinoids, vitamin D analogs, and calcineurin inhibitors.
Light therapy: Ultraviolet light therapy can slow skin cell growth and improve symptoms.
Oral medications: For moderate to severe psoriasis, medications like methotrexate or cyclosporine may be prescribed to suppress the immune system.
Biologic medications: These newer, targeted therapies can significantly improve symptoms by blocking specific inflammatory pathways.

Living with Psoriasis:

While there’s no cure for psoriasis, effective treatment and lifestyle changes can significantly improve your quality of life. Here are some tips:

Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eating a balanced diet, managing stress, and getting enough sleep can all help manage psoriasis.
Moisturize regularly: Keeping your skin hydrated can reduce dryness and discomfort.
Identify and avoid triggers: Common triggers include stress, smoking, alcohol, and certain medications. Knowing your triggers can help prevent flare-ups.
Stick to your treatment plan: Consistent treatment is crucial for managing psoriasis and preventing flare-ups.

  I had consulted Dr.Abhijna Rai at Dr Rai's skin and hair clinic. Dr.Rai is very professional, calm and must say, has lots of patience. She listens intently about the issue and situation. The treatment worked and there is drastic improvement in my skin issues. Compared to previous doctors, she did not put me through  multiple  treatments and seems to genuinely care for the patients.
The clinic also has ample parking space in the basement which is very convenient.
Thank you doctor and I would strongly recommend you to all my friends and family for any skin & hair related issues.
