Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by red, scaly, and itchy patches that most commonly appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, or nails. At the Vasmedic clinic, we offer modern diagnostics and effective treatment for psoriasis, which helps alleviate symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.
What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease in which skin cells are produced excessively. These cells accumulate on the surface of the skin and form red, scaly patches. Psoriasis is not contagious, but it can be genetically determined and is often exacerbated by stress or other triggers.
Symptoms of psoriasis
- Red and scaly patches on the skin,
- Itching, burning, or pain in the affected areas,
- Skin peeling, sometimes with cracking,
- Affected scalp (flakes resembling dandruff),
- Changes in the nails (grooves, thickening, crumbling).
The most common types of psoriasis
- Psoriasis vulgaris (focal) – the most common form with typical lesions,
- Psoriasis guttata – small red spots, often after infection,
- Psoriasis inversa – affects skin folds,
- Psoriasis pustulosa – rarer, with pus-filled blisters,
- Nail psoriasis – deformation and thickening of the nails.
Diagnosis and treatment at the Vasmedic clinic
Our treatment begins with a dermatological examination, supplemented by laboratory tests if necessary.
Depending on the extent and form of the disease, we recommend individual therapy, which may include:
- local treatment – special ointments and creams with anti-inflammatory effects,
- phototherapy or laser treatment – effective soothing of the skin using light energy,
- systemic treatment – tablets or injections for moderate to severe forms,
- biological treatment – a modern method of targeted therapy for more severe cases,
- recommendations for lifestyle changes – dietary adjustments, stress reduction, suitable dermocosmetics.
The goal of psoriasis treatment
- is to reduce inflammation and itching,
- remove or alleviate scaly patches,
- prolong periods without flare-ups,
- improve the patient's overall quality of life.
