I have been suffering from chronic psoriasis since childhood; what medicines or treatments should I take to manage this condition?

Asked by Female, 32 · 13 days ago

Managing chronic psoriasis requires a personalised plan. For mild cases, topical treatments like corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and regular moisturisers are highly effective. For moderate to severe psoriasis, phototherapy (UV light therapy) or systemic medications like methotrexate and cyclosporine may be prescribed. Advanced targeted therapies, called biologics (such as adalimumab or ustekinumab), have also revolutionised treatment by targeting the specific immune pathways causing the flares. Since long-term management requires careful monitoring of side effects, it is essential to consult a dermatologist. They will evaluate your medical history to tailor a safe, effective treatment regimen for you.
