Eczema and Psoriasis Management

Comprehensive Care for Chronic Skin Conditions with Tailored Treatment Plans

Living with chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis can be challenging, but with the right care, you can achieve long-term relief and significantly improve your quality of life. Our personalized approach to eczema and psoriasis management focuses on reducing symptoms, enhancing skin health, and preventing flare-ups, helping you regain control over your skin.

Understanding Eczema and Psoriasis

Both eczema and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory skin conditions, but they manifest in different ways:

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) often causes dry, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin. It can affect individuals of all ages, though it is commonly seen in children. Eczema flare-ups are typically triggered by allergens, irritants, stress, and environmental factors.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that results in the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to thick, red, scaly patches that may cause itching or discomfort. Psoriasis can appear on various parts of the body and is often triggered by stress, infections, or injury to the skin.

Although both conditions can cause discomfort and affect daily life, they can be effectively managed with a customized treatment plan designed specifically for your skin type and condition.

Customized Treatment Plans for Eczema and Psoriasis

We understand that no two cases of eczema or psoriasis are the same. That’s why we create individualized treatment plans based on your unique symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. Our comprehensive approach combines the latest advancements in dermatology with personalized care to deliver lasting results.

Advanced Medications:

For moderate to severe cases, we may recommend prescription medications to reduce inflammation, suppress immune system overactivity, and control flare-ups. These may include:

• Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and itching.

• Calcineurin inhibitors for sensitive areas like the face or neck, where steroid use may be minimized.

Systemic medications (oral or injectable) for more widespread or severe cases of eczema and psoriasis. These include biologics, which target specific parts of the immune system responsible for triggering symptoms.

Topical Therapies:

Topical treatments are the first line of defense for both eczema and psoriasis. Depending on the severity of your condition, we may prescribe:

Moisturizers and emollients to hydrate the skin, restore its protective barrier, and reduce itchiness.

Medicated creams and ointments containing ingredients such as salicylic acid, coal tar, or retinoids to help reduce scaling, itching, and inflammation in psoriasis.

Light Therapy (Phototherapy):

For patients who have not responded well to topical treatments or medications, light therapy (phototherapy) may be an effective option. This treatment involves controlled exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light to slow down the rapid skin cell growth associated with psoriasis or to reduce inflammation in eczema.

Narrowband UVB therapy is one of the most common and effective forms of light therapy used for both conditions. It helps clear up the skin and may reduce the frequency of flare-ups.

PUVA therapy, a combination of UVA light and a medication called psoralen, can be used for more severe cases.

Lifestyle Modifications and Skin Care:

In addition to medical treatments, we will provide guidance on how to manage your skin condition with proper skin care routines and lifestyle adjustments:

• Moisturizing regularly to keep skin hydrated and prevent flare-ups.

• Identifying and avoiding triggers such as allergens, stress, harsh soaps, or extreme temperatures.

• Dietary recommendations that may help reduce inflammation and support overall skin health.
