Psoriasis Treatment

Specialist dermatology for chronic plaque psoriasis

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated condition causing thick, scaly plaques that can cover large areas of the body and profoundly affect quality of life. Our dermatologist provides a full range of management options tailored to severity, from topical treatments to phototherapy and specialist systemic referral.

Managing psoriasis effectively requires matching treatment intensity to disease severity and impact. Mild disease responds well to topical corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues; moderate-to-severe disease may require phototherapy or systemic therapy coordinated by our dermatology team.
