Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition. It causes itchy or sore patches of red, scaly skin on the elbows, scalp, knees or back—though it can affect other areas. Additional symptoms include dry or cracked skin, joint pain or cracked, pitted nails.
Symptoms often present in cycles, worsening for a few weeks (or months) before easing up. There’s no cure for this autoimmune condition. But the right treatment can help improve symptoms—even in severe cases.
The exact cause of this autoimmune condition remains unknown. It’s thought that an issue with the body’s immune response may trigger inflammation and cause new skin cells to replicate too quickly. (Roughly every 3-4 days instead of 10-30 days.) It often runs in families, so there may be a genetic component, too.
Outbreaks can occur for any reason. But some common triggers include:
Psoriasis is a lifelong skin condition with no cure. It typically moves through cycles of flaring up and subsiding. In most cases, the right treatment can improve symptoms.
Types of psoriasis include:
An estimated 30% of people with psoriasis will also develop psoriatic arthritis—a condition characterized by swollen, painful joints.
Psoriasis is not contagious. You can’t contract it by touching or coming into contact with another person’s skin rashes.
In addition to the right prescription treatment, you may improve your symptoms by:
Both skin conditions cause irritated, itchy skin. But they don’t share every symptom. Here’s what to look for:
Treatments include a range of topical creams, lotions, ointments, foams and shampoos. They can come as several medication classes including corticosteroids, aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonists, phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors and vitamin D analogs. But all help restrict excess skin cell growth, reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Dr. B offers medications including Triderm (Triamcinolone Acetonide), Vtama (Ttapinarof), Zoryve (Roflumilast) and Dovonex (Calcipotriene).
Psoriasis medicines are applied topically. They come as a lotion, cream, ointment or scalp solution you apply to the skin once or several times daily. Right now, Dr. B does not prescribe any psoriasis pills or other oral medications. Follow your medical provider’s specific instructions carefully.
Side effects vary by medication. But some common side effects include:
These symptoms are typically mild and diminish over time. Talk to your medical provider if symptoms don’t improve or get worse.
