Smooth Skin Ahead—Psoriasis Care That Works at DermLounge
At DermLounge, we believe flare-ups shouldn’t define you. Our tailored psoriasis treatments help restore calm to your skin—and confidence to your everyday life. From mild patches to persistent plaques, we’ve got solutions designed just for you.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes skin cells to build up rapidly—up to 10 times faster than normal. This leads to thick, red, scaly patches that can be itchy, painful, or emotionally distressing.
Commonly affected areas include:
Scalp
Elbows
Knees
Lower back
Hands and feet
Nails (causing pitting or thickening)
While psoriasis isn’t contagious, it is persistent and often worsens without treatment. The exact cause is unknown, but an overactive immune response and genetic factors are key contributors.
Signs and Symptoms of Psoriasis?
Itchy, burning and sore skin
Thick, silvery-white scales
Red patches that crack or bleed
Scalp flaking (similar to dandruff)
Weak, ridged, or discolored nails
Joint stiffness (in cases of psoriatic arthritis)
Types of Psoriasis
Plaque Psoriasis: Most common; thick patches with scaling
Scalp Psoriasis: Flaky, scaly skin on the scalp and hairline
Guttate Psoriasis: Small, drop-like lesions, often triggered by illness
Pustular Psoriasis: White pustules surrounded by red skin
Psoriatic Arthritis: Joint swelling and pain that occurs with skin symptoms
At DermLounge, we personalize every treatment plan to fit your skin, lifestyle, and severity level. Your care may include one or more of the following:
Topical Treatment
These are often the first line of defense for mild to moderate psoriasis.
🌿 Corticosteroids
Reduce inflammation and itching. Available in creams, ointments, foams, and shampoos. Stronger formulations may be used for thick or widespread lesions.
🌿 Vitamin D Analogues
Help slow down skin cell growth. Often combined with steroids to improve results and reduce side effects.
Systemic Medications
For moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, we may prescribe oral or injectable medications.
💉 Biologics
These cutting-edge medications target specific immune responses and are administered via injection. Biologics treat both skin and joint symptoms and are ideal for long-term disease control with minimal organ toxicity.
💊 Retinoids (used selectively)
Improve skin turnover and reduce inflammation. Not suitable for pregnant individuals.
Note: Oral steroids are generally avoided due to risk of severe rebound flare-ups.
Phototherapy
Light therapy uses specific UV wavelengths to reduce inflammation and slow down skin cell production. This option is great for patients who prefer non-drug treatments and is often paired with topicals for added effect.
Laser Therapy
Targeted laser treatments can help with persistent plaques, especially in hard-to-reach areas or localized flares. Safe, effective, and quick—often with minimal downtime.
