Psoriasis: A Common Skin Condition and Advanced Treatments Worldwide

Psoriasis is a chronic and common skin condition that affects millions of people around the world. It appears as red patches covered with white or silver scales and often causes itching and discomfort. Although it is not contagious, it requires ongoing treatment and specialized medical supervision to control symptoms and improve quality of life.

What Causes Psoriasis?

Psoriasis occurs due to a malfunction in the immune system, which accelerates the growth of skin cells, causing them to accumulate in layers. Genetic factors, stress, infections, and certain medications are among the main triggers.

Common Symptoms of Psoriasis

• Red patches covered with scales

• Dry and cracked skin

• Itching or pain

• Sometimes joint inflammation (psoriatic arthritis)

Modern Psoriasis Treatments

Psoriasis treatments have advanced significantly and include:

• Topical treatments such as creams and ointments

• Phototherapy using ultraviolet (UV) light

• Biologic medications, which are among the most advanced treatments worldwide

• Comprehensive lifestyle management, including nutrition, stress management, and skin care

Choosing the appropriate treatment depends on the severity, type of psoriasis, and the patient’s response.
