PSORIASIS TREATMENT: SMOOTH AND RESTORE YOUR SKIN
Living with an autoimmune condition that affects your appearance can take its toll on your self-esteem and compromise your quality of life. Inflammation and red patches caused by psoriasis are difficult to hide and can be uncomfortable to deal with day to day. While the exact cause of psoriasis is still unknown, dermatologists can treat the condition to help clear up the skin.
In many cases, a combination of therapies is needed to completely clear up the skin. This is why it’s important to see a doctor who has experience working with psoriasis cases and can recommend multiple modalities. Psoriasis treatment options might include:
- Nonsteroidal topical treatments to slow down skin cell growth
- Topical steroids (corticosteroids), an anti-inflammatory medication available in different strengths
- Biologic drugs that target the immune system
- Systemic medication
- Moderate sunlight exposure
- Topical moisturizers
