Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterised by thick, red, scaly patches on the skin that can be both itchy and painful. While there is no cure for psoriasis, there are many treatments available that can help to manage the symptoms and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

At Revitalise London Dermatology Clinic, our team of experts is dedicated to providing the best possible care for our patients with psoriasis. We offer a range of treatments, including both topical and oral medications, as well as lifestyle changes and skin care regimens, to help our patients achieve clear, healthy skin.

One of the most important steps in treating psoriasis is to keep the skin moisturised. This can be achieved by using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser on a daily basis. Additionally, it is important to avoid hot showers and baths, as well as harsh soaps and detergents, which can strip the skin of its natural oils and make the symptoms of psoriasis worse.

Another important aspect of treating psoriasis is to avoid triggers that can make the symptoms worse. Common triggers include stress, certain foods, and environmental irritants such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. If you are not sure what your specific triggers are, our team of experts can help you to identify them and develop a personalised plan to avoid them.

In addition to these lifestyle changes, there are also many topical medications and creams that can be used to treat psoriasis. These include corticosteroid creams, vitamin D analogs, and coal tar. Our team of experts can help you to choose the best treatment for your individual needs and help you to use it effectively.

For some patients, oral medications may be necessary to effectively treat their psoriasis. These can include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and biologic drugs. Our team of experts can work with you to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs and help you to manage any potential side effects.

Finally, it is important to be patient and persistent when it comes to treating psoriasis. While there is no cure for the condition, with the right treatment and lifestyle changes, it is possible to manage the symptoms and achieve clear, healthy skin.
