Psoriasis Treatment

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes rapid skin cell turnover, leading to thick, red, inflamed patches covered with silvery-white scales. It commonly affects the scalp, elbows, knees, lower back, and nails, though it can appear anywhere on the body.

While psoriasis is not contagious, it is a long-term condition that may flare up periodically and significantly impact a person’s quality of life. Modern dermatological and immunological treatments aim to control symptoms, reduce inflammation, prevent flare-ups, and improve skin appearance.

VivaVel Health assists international patients in accessing advanced psoriasis treatment in India, delivered by experienced dermatologists using evidence-based therapies and personalized care plans.

Signs & Symptoms
  • Red patches of skin with silvery scales

  • Dry, cracked skin that may bleed

  • Itching, burning, or soreness

  • Thickened, pitted, or ridged nails

  • Scalp flaking resembling severe dandruff

  • Joint pain or stiffness (psoriatic arthritis)

  • Skin dryness and sensitivity

Causes

 Psoriasis results from an overactive immune response that accelerates the life cycle of skin cells. Contributing factors include:

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Immune system dysfunction

  • Inflammatory response

  • Environmental triggers

Common triggers include stress, infections, skin injuries, cold weather, smoking, alcohol consumption, and certain medications.

When to seek medical attention?

 Medical consultation is recommended if:

  • Skin lesions worsen or spread rapidly

  • Symptoms interfere with daily activities

  • You experience severe itching or pain

  • Joint pain or stiffness develops

  • Home remedies or topical treatments fail

Early medical management helps prevent complications and long-term skin damage.

Diagnostics & Tests

 Diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by:

  • Physical skin examination

  • Medical history review

  • Skin biopsy (in uncertain cases)

  • Blood tests to rule out other inflammatory or autoimmune conditions

  • Joint evaluation if psoriatic arthritis is suspected

Do’s & Don’ts

 Do’s:

  • Moisturize skin regularly

  • Follow prescribed treatment plans

  • Manage stress effectively

  • Maintain a healthy diet

  • Keep skin clean and protected

  • Attend regular follow-ups

 Don’ts:

  • Avoid scratching or picking lesions

  • Do not discontinue medication abruptly
