Overview
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates skin cell growth, leading to the buildup of thick, scaly patches on the skin. These patches are often red, inflamed, and covered with silvery scales. Psoriasis commonly affects the scalp, elbows, and knees, and its symptoms may include itching, dryness, and discomfort. At Seaside Dermatology, we offer tailored treatments to help manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and restore your skin’s health.
Common Symptoms:
- Red, inflamed patches of skin
- Silvery scales covering patches
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
- Itching, burning, or soreness
- Thickened or ridged nails
- Swollen or stiff joints (psoriatic arthritis)
Possible Triggers:
- Stress or emotional strain
- Skin injuries, such as cuts or sunburns
- Certain medications, like beta-blockers or lithium
- Infections, including strep throat or skin infections
- Weather changes, particularly cold and dry conditions
- Smoking or heavy alcohol consumption
- Hormonal changes, such as during pregnancy or menopause
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
At Seaside Dermatology, we understand that psoriasis affects everyone differently. That’s why we begin with a thorough consultation and examination to understand your unique condition. During this time, we’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors that may influence your psoriasis. We aim to identify the specific triggers and severity of your condition. Afterward, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan to help manage flare-ups, reduce discomfort, and improve the overall health of your skin.
If traditional treatments do not provide the desired results or if your psoriasis doesn’t respond quickly, we offer biologic therapies as an alternative option. These prescription injections can be administered at home to manage your condition. As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Duggan will work with you to determine if biologics are right for your treatment plan.
