Psoriasis and Skin Treatment

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to thick, red, scaly patches, often on the elbows, knees, and scalp. It results from an immune system problem and can be triggered by stress, infections, or skin injuries. Treatment options include topical creams, phototherapy (light treatment), and systemic medications, which can help reduce inflammation and slow skin cell turnover. While there is no cure, effective management can significantly improve the quality of life for those affected. Regular consultations with a dermatologist are essential for tailored treatment plans.
