Associated Condition
Some people with psoriasis develop Psoriatic Arthritis, which can cause joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is usually clinical. Occasionally, a skin biopsy may be required.
Management
Treatment depends on severity and may include moisturizers, topical medicines, phototherapy, systemic medicines, or biologic therapies under dermatological supervision.
Individualized Homoeopathic Care
The consultation may explore the distribution and character of lesions, scaling, itching, aggravating factors, seasonal changes, previous treatment, associated symptoms, and overall health history.
Homoeopathic care should not replace medically indicated treatment for psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.
