Psoriasis – expert care and treatment support
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition in which the immune system speeds up skin cell turnover. This causes scales, redness, itching, and inflammation to develop.
Psoriasis – first symptoms and how it looks
The first signs of psoriasis include dry, thickened skin with whitish or silvery scales, redness, and itching. Cracks and pain may also occur.
How is psoriasis transmitted?
Psoriasis is not contagious – it cannot be caught through touch, objects, or airborne droplets.
Psoriasis – treatment and home care
Psoriasis treatment involves a combination of medical therapy and proper dermocosmetics:
-
using a psoriasis cream with hydrating ingredients,
-
choosing soothing and anti-inflammatory products,
-
avoiding perfumed and irritating cosmetics,
-
regularly hydrating and protecting skin from dryness.
How to know if you have psoriasis?
A dermatologist can confirm the diagnosis. If you have dry, red patches with scales that keep coming back and don’t improve with regular cream, you should seek medical advice.
