What is psoriasis treatment?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition causing thick, red, scaly patches — typically on elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. It occurs when the immune system triggers rapid skin cell turnover (every 3–4 days instead of the normal 28-day cycle). Psoriasis is not contagious, but it is often misunderstood. In Bareilly's climate, dry winters and stress commonly trigger flares. Dr. Pinky Nisha at Skin Solution Clinic diagnoses psoriasis clinically and, when needed, with biopsy, distinguishing it from eczema, fungal infections, and other look-alikes.
