What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a long-term dermatologic issue that usually shows up as pinkish or reddish plaques, thick, raised, and a bit scaly, I mean that’s what people notice first. Basically, it’s an autoimmune condition, a skin disorder where the skin cells begin multiplying as much as 10 times faster than normal. You might see it as small flat bumps on the surface, or it can turn into bigger, heavy plaques that look more pronounced.

Signs and Symptoms of Psoriasis

Typically psoriasis shows up as discolored skin, kind of small bumps that slowly expand to make lesions bigger patches of rough, damaged skin, or red rashes where thick skin forms. On top of that, silver-colored scales may start to appear and keep building. The surface of the skin plaque might seem ready to shed, or it may flake off fairly easily, but the scales underneath will stay glued together. Those skin plaques can be itchy, or sometimes painful. If the affected area gets scratched the scales can get pulled away from the skin and then you might see bleeding, plus infection can follow.

The symptoms of psoriasis can range from mild to severe. Other than skin plaques, psoriasis symptoms include:

• Dry, cracked skin
• Itchy skin
• Skin or joints pain
• Nails that are cracked, pitted, or crumbly- can easily detach from the nail bed.

How can Psoriasis be Treated?

Several treatments can help patients cope with psoriasis symptoms. Some can help slow down the birth of new skin cells, while others give relief to dry, itchy skin which can be really uncomfortable. The skin specialist in Andheri, Mumbai at Skin Indulgence Clinic can help build the most appropriate treatment path for the patient, based on the extent of the skin rash, the body areas involved, their age, and their overall well-being.

Common options include creams and ointments, plus a few other targeted products. For small zones affected by psoriasis, doctors usually suggest topical steroids, Vitamin A or retinoid creams, medicated shampoos or lotions, moisturizers (especially for dryness), Vitamin D3 ointments, and other medicines that help slow the formation of new skin cells.

If the symptoms do not settle down after using topical products on psoriasis rashes, or if large portions of the skin are being affected then the doctor may suggest the following treatments:

Phototherapy or PUVA therapy: in short, is when psoralen medication is first put on the treatment site, and then the area is exposed to that special kind of UV light. This light therapy can help calm skin inflammation and also slow down the start of new skin cell production a bit.

Immunotherapy: is more like targeting the immune system itself. There are small molecule inhibitors or biologics that help block an over-active immune system from doing its thing too strongly.

some severe psoriasis cases: there can be enzyme inhibitors, kind of like medication that interferes with specific processes involved.
