Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis treatment refers to various methods used to manage and alleviate symptoms of psoriasis, an autoimmune condition that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. Common treatments include topical corticosteroids for inflammation reduction, vitamin D analogs for slowing down skin cell growth, and phototherapy using ultraviolet light to suppress the immune response. Biologic medications that target specific proteins involved in inflammation are also available for severe cases.
