Psoriasis Treatment In New Jersey

Psoriasis is an autoimmune inflammatory condition that causes skin cells to be replaced more rapidly than usual and is characterized by flare-ups of red, scaly patches of skin that may itch, burn, flake, or even bleed. No two patients experience psoriasis in exactly the same way, but the condition is universally uncomfortable, unpredictable, and detracts from the overall quality of life.

If you’re seeking world-class psoriasis treatment in Clifton or Rockaway, New Jersey, Dr. Ros and her exceptional team are ready to help. Book an appointment at Dermatology Institute and Laser Center today to find relief and begin proactively addressing your symptoms!

Psoriasis Symptoms

Psoriasis can appear anywhere on the body, but most frequently occurs on the scalp, lower back, knees and elbows. It is not contagious.. People with psoriasis may experience flare-ups triggered by stress, infections, alcohol consumption, changes in weather/climate, and more. This skin condition also often runs in families.

There are several types of psoriasis and each may present differently from one patient to the next. That being said, common symptoms of the condition include:

  • Red, scaly skin patches
  • Itching, burning, or bleeding skin
  • Flaking or peeling skin
  • Dry skin cells
  • Thickened skin
  • Nails that are thickened or ridged
  • Stiff, swollen, and/or painful joints

Psoriasis Treatments We Offer

Although there is no cure for psoriasis, our leading dermatological team will develop an effective and personalized treatment plan to help you control and properly manage your symptoms. Treatment of psoriasis depends on a number of factors including the specific type of psoriasis, the size and severity of the affected areas, and how the patient responds to initial treatment.

Some of the treatment options currently available at Dermatology Institute and Laser Center include topical treatments, such as retinoids, corticosteroids, or vitamin D creams, which can limit inflammation and skin cell growth. Other psoriasis treatment methods can include oral medications, injectables, laser therapy, light therapy, and more. Often, a combined treatment approach is most effective.

Some different types of psoriasis include Plaque Psoriasis, Guttate Psoriasis, Pustular Psoriasis, Inverse Psoriasis, and Erythrodermic Psoriasis. Book an appointment at Dermatology Institute and Laser Center to learn more about which type of psoriasis you have and move forward with a customized treatment plan that will put you on the fastest road to recovery.
