Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to scaling, inflammation, and discomfort. India's dermatology centres offer world-class, affordable treatment ranging from topical therapy to advanced biologics.
Psoriasis is a long-term autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly speeds up skin cell turnover, causing thick, scaly, red or silvery patches (plaques) — most commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. It is not contagious, but flares can be triggered by stress, infections, certain medications, and skin injury.
| Treatment | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Topical therapy | Corticosteroid or vitamin D creams applied directly to plaques — first-line for mild disease |
| Phototherapy (Narrowband UVB) | Controlled UV light exposure 2–3 times weekly to slow skin cell growth |
| Systemic medication | Oral drugs (e.g. methotrexate) for moderate-to-severe disease |
| Biologics | Injectable drugs targeting TNF-α, IL-17, IL-12/23 or IL-23 — highest efficacy for severe/resistant cases |
