Get personalised psoriasis treatment in Roorkee for itchy,

assessment helps identify the type and severity of psoriasis
and select a suitable treatment plan for your skin.
Psoriasis is a long-term inflammatory skin condition that can
cause dry, thickened, itchy and scaly patches on different
areas of the body. Symptoms can improve and flare up again,
so treatment is focused on controlling the condition and
managing symptoms over time.

Psoriasis treatment options
How Psoriasis May Be Treated
Psoriasis treatment is selected according to the type,
severity and location of psoriasis, previous treatment response
and individual medical history. Depending on the assessment,
treatment may involve topical medicines, moisturising care,
phototherapy or other dermatologist-supervised treatments.
Prescription Topical Treatment
Prescription creams, ointments, lotions or gels may be
recommended to help control inflammation, scaling and
other psoriasis symptoms.
Moisturising & Skin Care
Emollients and suitable moisturising routines can help
reduce dryness and support the skin during psoriasis treatment.
Scalp Psoriasis Treatment
Scalp psoriasis may require a treatment plan specifically
selected for scaling, inflammation and the affected scalp area.
Phototherapy
Light-based treatment may be considered for selected
patients when topical treatment is not sufficient.
Moderate to Severe Psoriasis Care
More extensive or difficult-to-control psoriasis may
require specialist assessment and dermatologist-supervised
systemic treatment.
Long-Term Psoriasis Management
Follow-up care helps monitor treatment response,
manage flare-ups and adjust the plan when required.

Frequently asked questions
Psoriasis Treatment FAQs
Can psoriasis be permanently cured?
Psoriasis is a long-term condition and there is currently
no permanent cure. However, appropriate treatment can help
control symptoms and reduce the impact of flare-ups.
How long does psoriasis treatment take?
Treatment response varies according to the type and severity
of psoriasis, affected body areas and treatment used. Your
dermatologist can provide more relevant guidance after assessment.
Can psoriasis affect the scalp?
Yes. Psoriasis can affect the scalp and may cause scaling,
itching and thicker patches. Scalp psoriasis may require a
treatment approach specifically suited to the scalp.
Can psoriasis be treated with creams?
Many patients with psoriasis use topical treatments such as
creams, ointments, lotions or gels. The appropriate treatment
depends on the type, severity and location of psoriasis.
Can psoriasis come back after treatment?
Yes. Psoriasis can have periods of improvement followed by
flare-ups. Long-term management and appropriate follow-up can
help control recurring symptoms.
When should I see a dermatologist for psoriasis?
Consider a dermatology consultation if you have persistent
scaly patches, frequent flare-ups, worsening symptoms or
treatment that is no longer working. Joint pain, swelling or
stiffness should also be discussed with a doctor because
psoriasis can be associated with psoriatic arthritis.

a personalised treatment plan based on your symptoms,
affected areas, previous treatment and skin condition.
