Psoriasis

How Does Psoriasis Affect the Body?

Psoriasis is a genetic skin condition that occurs when the immune system overreacts and accelerates the growth cycle of skin cells. When this growth occurs, the skin cells build up too quickly, creating thick and scaly patches, redness, cracks and bleeding, and ridged nails. Stress, infection, and cold weather can exacerbate psoriasis. Common effects of psoriasis include pink scaly plaques anywhere from the scalp to the bottom of the feet, itching, and even arthritis.

  • Oral Medications: We offer patients oral prescription medication to treat more widespread and stubborn psoriasis when appropriate.
