TREATING PSORIASIS IN CANTERBURY

Psoriasis is a skin condition that affects around 2% of people in the UK; it can start at any age but mainly occurs in adults under 35 years old, affecting men and women equally. The condition causes red, flaky patches to form on the skin, which are crusty and covered with silvery scales.

Psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body, but most commonly affects the elbows, knees, lower back, buttocks and scalp.

The severity of psoriasis varies a great deal from person to person, with some people experiencing it as a minor irritation, whilst for other people it can have a major impact on their quality of life. Severe psoriasis can cause low self-esteem, as well as the discomfort and pain that can occur with flare-ups of the rash.

PSORIASIS TREATMENT

Unfortunately there is no cure for psoriasis, but there are a number of ways in which you can manage the symptoms and minimise the discomfort that the rash can cause:

  • Topical steroid creams, ointments, and emollients can be applied to the affected areas of skin
  • Oral medications can work throughout the entire body
  • Phototherapy uses UV light to reduce inflammation and clear the rash

At The Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic we offer psoriasis treatment that is tailored to you. Our team of specialist dermatologists have a great deal of experience in treating skin rashes such as psoriasis, and can recommend the best course of treatment based on your personal circumstances and the severity of your condition.

LIVING WITH PSORIASIS

In addition to receiving specific treatment for psoriasis flare-ups, it’s also important that you self-manage your skin condition in order to minimise and prevent flare-ups from happening. Maintaining good physical and mental health will ensure that your immune system is strong, and will lessen the risk of joint pain and fatigue that can be associated with psoriasis. Stress is often a trigger for flare-ups of psoriasis and other skin conditions, so beneficial for your health if you can avoid stress as much as possible.

If you’d like to find out more about how we can help you to manage your psoriasis effectively in the long term, please contact us and we’ll arrange a consultation with one of our dermatology specialists.
