🔬 What is Psoriasis?

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 Options

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
