About This Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition causing rapid skin cell turnover — producing thick, red, silvery-scaled plaques on scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Not contagious. Genetic component significant. Modern treatments range from topicals for mild disease to phototherapy (NB-UVB), systemic agents (methotrexate, cyclosporine), and highly effective biologics (adalimumab, secukinumab, ixekizumab) for moderate-to-severe psoriasis — most patients achieve clear or near-clear skin.
