Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches that can be itchy and uncomfortable. Treatments aim to manage symptoms and improve skin appearance. Topical therapies, such as corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues, help reduce inflammation and scaling. For moderate to severe cases, phototherapy, which involves controlled exposure to ultraviolet light, can be effective. Systemic medications, including methotrexate and biologics, target the immune system to decrease flare-ups and improve overall skin health. Lifestyle modifications, such as stress management and a balanced diet, also play a vital role in managing psoriasis. Collaborating with a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan to individual needs, enhancing both skin health and quality of life.
