What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition that causes the skin cells to multiply faster than they normally would. As the skin builds up, it causes red, bumpy patches and white scales. These patches can cover a number of different areas on the skin, but they most likely occur on the scalp, knees, elbows, and lower back.
Besides patches of red and bumpy skin, other symptoms include pitting and discoloration of the nails, itchiness, pain, and scales on the scalp. These symptoms tend to go in cycles, with flares occurring for a few weeks or months and then subsiding.
At Erwin Dermatology, we offer a wide range of treatment options, including topical corticosteroids, retinoids, light therapy, and injectable biologics.
