Dermatology Psoriasis and Other Inflammatory Diseases
Dermatology psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by red, scaly patches or lesions. It affects approximately two to three percent of the population and can occur at any age, although it is most common in adults. Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease, meaning that it is caused by an abnormal response of the body's immune system. Treatments for psoriasis can include topical creams and ointments, immunosuppressive medications, phototherapy, and systemic therapies. Additionally, there are other inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema and acne, that also require a dermatologist’s care. Understanding the signs and symptoms of psoriasis and other inflammatory skin disorders is important for early diagnosis and treatment, which can help to minimize discomfort, reduce flare-ups, and improve quality of life.
