Psoriasis

Psoriasis Overview

Psoriasis is a condition that causes scaling of the skin and potential discomfort. Most commonly known for rashes on elbows and knees, this condition can progress over a lifetime. It is our goal to reduce the signs and symptoms for our patients who battle this skin condition.

What can I expect with psoriasis treatment?

Psoriasis can range in severity, and several treatment solutions may be appropriate for you. Common treatment options include:

  • Topical medicine (can be prescription or over the counter)
  • Systemic medicine
  • Biologics
  • Ultraviolet (UVB) light

What can make my condition worse?

An increase in stress can cause a flare-up for those who battle psoriasis, as well as areas of skin injury. As with most skin conditions, symptoms may worsen with scratching. This can also lead to infection.
