PSORIASIS TREATMENT

As a chronic disease that comes and goes, psoriasis is a common skin condition that causes the life cycle of skin cells to speed up and while the cells build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. As a result, the extra skin cells form red, scaly patches on the affected area of the body. These areas can unfortunately be itchy and painful.

Psoriasis impacts patients differently. While some may experience small spots of dry, dandruff-like scaling, others may have major breakouts that cover large areas of the skin. Psoriasis can be found on numerous areas of the body, including the elbows, collarbones, scalp, nails, feet, back, and genitals.

About 7.5 million people in the United States are living with psoriasis. While there is no cure for psoriasis, treatment can help manage the symptoms and make monthly or yearly flare-ups much more tolerable.

ADVANTAGES OF PSORIASIS TREATMENT

There is no current cure for psoriasis but doing treatments can make a significant difference. Most treatments are over-the-counter medications, but you can also make lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking or reducing exposure to sunlight. At West Texas Dermatology Center we offer our patients topical treatments, injections, or oral treatments as ways to help manage their psoriasis. By doing these treatments you can expect to:

• See clearer skin

• Reduced itching & swelling

• Reduced inflammation

• Reduce scales
