FAQs
Yes, psoriasis can sometimes affect the nails, causing pitting, thickening, or discoloration. In some cases, it may also be associated with psoriatic arthritis, which affects the joints and can cause stiffness or pain.
No, psoriasis is not contagious. It’s an autoimmune condition, so you cannot catch it from someone else or pass it on.
Flare-ups can vary from person to person. Common triggers include stress, infections, changes in weather, some medications (e.g. naproxen and ibuprofen), and lifestyle factors. Your dermatologist can help identify triggers specific to you and suggest ways to reduce flare-ups.
Treatment can range from topical creams and medicated shampoos to phototherapy. Your dermatologist will recommend a plan based on the severity, location, and impact of your condition.
Effective management includes using prescribed treatments consistently, maintaining good skin hydration, avoiding known triggers, and following a healthy lifestyle. Regular check-ins with your dermatologist help adjust your plan as needed.
We offer regular follow-ups to monitor your progress, adjust treatments as needed, and provide guidance on managing flare-ups. Our goal is to help patients not only control their symptoms but also maintain healthy skin and improve their overall quality of life.
