about the condition
Understanding Psoriasis
Struggling with itchy, scaly patches on your skin? Mild to moderate psoriasis can disrupt your comfort and confidence, but effective treatment is available. At DrSkinHair, we specialize in non-invasive care to manage and improve psoriasis symptoms. Our clinics in Penang offer safe, expert-led treatments tailored to your skin’s unique needs
What are Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches. It occurs when skin cells regenerate too quickly, leading to a buildup on the surface. Though mild to moderate cases are common, the condition can significantly impact daily life.
At DrSkinHair, we aim to improve both the physical and emotional effects of psoriasis with personalized treatment strategies
Causes
Psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system, where the body mistakenly accelerates the production of skin cells. Triggers include:
- Genetics: A family history of psoriasis increases your risk.
- Infections: Certain illnesses can trigger or worsen symptoms.
- Stress: High stress levels often lead to flare-ups.
- Weather: Cold, dry conditions can aggravate psoriasis.
Understanding these causes helps us create a treatment plan to manage triggers effectively
Symptoms
Mild to moderate psoriasis presents with a range of symptoms, including:
- Red, inflamed patches covered with silvery scales.
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed.
- Itching, soreness, or a burning sensation.
- Nail changes, such as pitting or discoloration.
If you notice these signs, early treatment can prevent further complications
Aftercare
At DrSkinHair, we prioritize long-term skin health. After your treatment, our doctors provide actionable aftercare steps, such as:
- Hydration: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to prevent dryness.
- Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen daily to protect sensitive skin.
- Trigger Management: Avoid stress, cold weather, and harsh skincare products.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ins to monitor progress and adjust treatments.
Consistency in aftercare ensures your skin remains healthy and comfortable
