Types of Psoriasis Treatments

While there is no permanent cure for psoriasis, effective treatments can reduce flare-ups and manage symptoms. The most common treatment options include topical medications, phototherapy, and systemic treatments.

Topical Treatments for Psoriasis

Topical treatments are the first line of defense for managing mild to moderate psoriasis.

  • Corticosteroids: Help reduce inflammation and itching
  • Vitamin D Analogs: Slow down skin cell overproduction
  • Salicylic Acid: Helps exfoliate scales and reduce flaking

Phototherapy for Psoriasis (Light Therapy)

Phototherapy uses ultraviolet (UV) light to slow down skin cell growth and reduce inflammation.

  • UVB Therapy: Uses controlled doses of UVB rays to reduce plaque formation
  • PUVA Therapy: Combines UVA light with psoralen medication to improve skin appearance

Systemic Treatments for Psoriasis

For severe cases, systemic treatments target the immune system to reduce inflammation.

  • Oral Medications: Methotrexate, Cyclosporine, and Retinoids help control psoriasis symptoms
  • Biologic Injections: Target specific immune pathways to reduce psoriasis severity

Homeopathy for Psoriasis

Why Choose Homeopathy?

Homeopathy offers a natural, side-effect-free alternative for psoriasis management. It strengthens the immune system to reduce inflammation and control symptoms.

Benefits of Homeopathic Treatment for Psoriasis:

  • Personalized care tailored to individual triggers
  • Safe for long-term use without harmful side effects
