Psoriasis

Psoriasis is one of the most common skin rashes treated at Dermatology, Inc. The skin can become inflamed, with thickened red, scaly areas. Occasionally patients with psoriasis may also develop inflammation of their joints.

Symptoms

There are several types of psoriasis, the most common being:

Plaque psoriasis - causes dry, raised, red skin lesions (plaques) covered by silvery scales.
Nail psoriasis - affects your finger & toe nails, causing pitting, abnormal nail growth, and discoloration.
Scalp psoriasis - location in the scalp can make treatment challenging.
Psoriatic Arthritis - inflammatory process can also create significant joint inflammation.

Treatments

The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation and control shedding of the skin. Treatment is based on a patient’s health, age, lifestyle, and severity of the psoriasis. Types of treatment include:

Topical creams
Phototherapy
Oral medications
Injectable biologic medications
