Psoriasis is a highly manageable condition. Treatment options depend on severity: 1. Topicals: Corticosteroid creams, salicylic acid, and vitamin D analogues (like calcipotriene) soothe the skin. 2. Phototherapy: Controlled medical ultraviolet light therapy. 3. Systemic/Biologic Medications: For moderate-to-severe cases, oral drugs like methotrexate or injected biologics target the immune system. 4. Prevention: Keep skin well-moisturized, manage stress, avoid smoking, and protect skin from injuries to prevent flare-ups. Work closely with a dermatologist to find the safest, most effective routine for your skin.
