Pigmentation Treatment for Indian Skin
What Is Psoriasis?
Types of Psoriasis We Treat
At Indian Skin & Hair Aesthetic Skin Clinic, we diagnose and manage all forms of psoriasis, including:
Plaque Psoriasis (Psoriasis Vulgaris) – The most common type, characterized by raised, red patches covered with silvery scales.
Guttate Psoriasis – Small, drop-shaped spots that often appear after throat infections.
Inverse Psoriasis – Smooth, shiny red lesions that appear in skin folds such as under the breasts, around the groin, and buttocks.
Pustular Psoriasis – White pustules filled with pus on red skin, often affecting palms and soles.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis – A severe, potentially life-threatening form that causes redness, itching, and peeling across large skin areas.
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.
