Psoriasis

Pigmentation Treatment for Indian Skin

At Indian Skin & Hair Aesthetic Skin Clinic, we understand that psoriasis is more than just a skin condition—it’s a chronic immune-mediated disorder that can impact your confidence, comfort, and overall quality of life. Our expert dermatologists provide personalized psoriasis treatment using advanced medical therapies and modern aesthetic techniques designed to control symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and restore healthy skin.

What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a long-term inflammatory skin disease that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. It occurs when the body’s immune system speeds up the skin cell turnover process, leading to thickened, itchy, and sometimes painful plaques. While psoriasis is not contagious, it can be persistent and requires expert management. It commonly affects the scalp, elbows, knees, lower back, and nails, though it can appear anywhere on the body. The intensity can range from mild irritation to severe widespread lesions.

Types of Psoriasis We Treat

At Indian Skin & Hair Aesthetic Skin Clinic, we diagnose and manage all forms of psoriasis, including:

  1. Plaque Psoriasis (Psoriasis Vulgaris) – The most common type, characterized by raised, red patches covered with silvery scales.

  2. Guttate Psoriasis – Small, drop-shaped spots that often appear after throat infections.

  3. Inverse Psoriasis – Smooth, shiny red lesions that appear in skin folds such as under the breasts, around the groin, and buttocks.

  4. Pustular Psoriasis – White pustules filled with pus on red skin, often affecting palms and soles.

  5. Erythrodermic Psoriasis – A severe, potentially life-threatening form that causes redness, itching, and peeling across large skin areas.

  6. Scalp and Nail Psoriasis – Affects the scalp with thick scaling and can cause nail pitting, ridges, and discoloration.

Symptoms of Psoriasis

  • Red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales

  • Dry, cracked skin that may bleed

  • Itching, burning, or soreness

  • Thickened or ridged nails

  • Joint pain or stiffness (psoriatic arthritis)

Because symptoms vary from person to person, it’s essential to get an accurate diagnosis and a customized treatment plan from a specialist dermatologist.

Diagnosis at Indian Skin & Hair Aesthetic Skin Clinic

Our dermatologists perform a comprehensive evaluation that includes:

  • Detailed skin examination to assess the type and severity

  • Medical history review to identify triggers and family history

  • Dermatoscopy for close examination of lesions

  • Skin biopsy (if needed) for accurate diagnosis

  • Joint assessment if psoriatic arthritis is suspected

We use advanced diagnostic tools and combine medical expertise with aesthetic insight to help you achieve clear, healthy-looking skin.

Causes and Triggers

Psoriasis results from an overactive immune response, but several triggers can worsen the condition:

  • Stress and anxiety

  • Skin injury (cuts, scrapes, or sunburn)

  • Cold, dry weather

  • Certain medications

  • Alcohol consumption

  • Infections such as strep throat

  • Hormonal changes

Understanding your triggers is a key step in controlling psoriasis effectively.

Personalized Psoriasis Treatment Options

Our clinic offers a multimodal approach combining dermatology, phototherapy, and lifestyle management for long-lasting relief.

1. Topical Treatments

These are the first line of defense for mild to moderate psoriasis:

  • Corticosteroid creams to reduce inflammation

  • Vitamin D analogs to slow skin cell growth

  • Coal tar preparations to reduce scaling and itching

  • Moisturizers and emollients to prevent dryness

Our dermatologists carefully select medicated creams suited to Indian skin tones to prevent pigmentation changes.

2. Phototherapy (Light Therapy)

For moderate to severe psoriasis, we use UVB and PUVA phototherapy—safe and controlled light exposure that slows cell turnover and reduces inflammation. Phototherapy is performed under expert supervision and is highly effective for stubborn scalp or plaque psoriasis.

3. Systemic Medications

When topical treatments are insufficient, we may prescribe oral or injectable medicines that work from within to control the immune response:

  • Methotrexate

  • Cyclosporine

  • Acitretin

  • Biologic agents (targeted therapies for moderate to severe psoriasis)

Biologic treatments have transformed psoriasis care by delivering precise control and long-term remission.

4. Laser Therapy

Targeted excimer laser treatment is available for localized plaques, offering faster improvement with minimal side effects.

5. Scalp Psoriasis Care

We offer specialized treatments for scalp psoriasis, including:

  • Medicated shampoos

  • Keratolytic solutions

  • Laser and phototherapy

  • Scalp exfoliation and hydration therapies

6. Nail Psoriasis Treatment

Our dermatologists use laser therapy, topical solutions, and systemic treatments to restore nail texture and improve appearance.
