I have psoriasis. What should I do now?
Asked by Female, 37 · 1 month ago
You should consult your doctor to get a prescription for topical steroids or vitamin D analogues, which can help reduce inflammation and slow skin cell buildup. Apply fragrance-free emollients or moisturisers daily to keep your skin hydrated. It is also essential to identify and avoid known triggers such as stress, smoking, alcohol, or harsh soaps, as these may worsen psoriasis and cause flare-ups. Regular skin care and adherence to your treatment plan can help manage symptoms effectively.
