The importance of skin care cannot be understated—without it, you may not achieve the results you desire.
WHAT IS IT?
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a dermal condition that prompts flaky skin patches which develop scales. It is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to grow too quickly. This results in the buildup of thick, scaly patches on the skin. Psoriasis can occur on any part of the body but is most commonly found on the elbows, knees, and scalp. On all skin colors, the patches can appear pink or red, and the scales can look white or silver. On skin of color, the patches can also look purple or dark brown, and the scales may look grey.
Psoriasis is a lifelong condition that cannot be cured, but we have treatments available that can help to manage the symptoms. With the treatment, you can be able to live a relatively normal life.
The most common types of skin conditions, diseases and disorders that we treat include, but are not limited to the following.
Generalized Plaque Psoriasis
The most common form of psoriasis, characterized by raised, red patches covered with silvery scales. It can appear on any part of the body and often causes itching and discomfort.
A type of psoriasis characterized by small, red, scaly spots that usually appear on the trunk, limbs, and scalp. It often occurs suddenly and can be triggered by bacterial or viral infections.
Psoriasis that primarily affects skin folds, such as the armpits, groin, and under the breasts. It appears as smooth, red patches and can be worsened by friction and sweating.
Psoriasis that affects the nails, causing pitting, discoloration, thickening, and nail separation. It can lead to changes in the appearance and texture of the nails.
Psoriasis that specifically affects the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, causing thickened, red, and scaly patches. It can be challenging to treat due to the thicker skin in these areas.
