Understanding Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates skin cell production, causing cells to build up rapidly on the skin's surface. Modern treatments can achieve remarkable clearance—many patients now experience 90% or greater improvement.

Plaque Psoriasis

The most common type (80-90% of cases). Raised, red patches covered with silvery-white scales, typically on elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.

Guttate Psoriasis

Small, dot-like lesions often triggered by strep throat or viral infections. More common in children and young adults.

Inverse Psoriasis

Smooth, red patches in skin folds—armpits, groin, under breasts. Worsened by friction and sweating.

Treatment Options

From breakthrough biologics to proven topical therapies, we offer the full spectrum of psoriasis treatments.
