Comprehensive Care for Psoriasis: Finding Relief and Managing Symptoms

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Livingstone Dermatology specializes in providing expert care for psoriasis, offering personalized treatment plans to help you find relief and manage symptoms effectively.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is skin condition characterized by the rapid production of skin cells, leading to the development of red, scaly patches on the skin’s surface. These patches, known as plaques, are often itchy and can be found on various parts of the body.

What Causes Psoriasis?

The exact cause of psoriasis is not known but it is thought to be a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors.

Treatment Options for Psoriasis

  1. Topical Treatments: Corticosteroids, topical retinoids, and other medications can help reduce inflammation and slow down the rapid skin cell production.
  2. Phototherapy (Light Therapy): Controlled exposure to UVB or UVA light can help reduce symptoms by slowing skin cell growth.
  3. Systemic Medications: In more severe cases, oral or injected medications may be prescribed to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.
  4. Biologic Therapies: These medications target specific parts of the immune system and are often highly effective in managing psoriasis.
  5. Oral Retinoids: Derived from vitamin A, these medications can help control the growth of skin cells.
  6. Lifestyle and Diet Modifications: Making certain lifestyle changes, such as managing stress and maintaining a balanced diet, can complement medical treatments.
