Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine the treatment that is right for me?

The type of treatment you use is determined by the severity of your psoriasis and how well it responded to previous therapies. Before you find a treatment that works for you, you may need to try a variety of medications or a combination of treatments.

Are there any additional diseases that are associated with psoriasis?

Although additional research is needed, doctors believe that patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are more prone to develop other serious diseases.

Can sun exposure help?

According to several studies, a little bit every day can help with your symptoms. However, you must exercise caution to avoid overdoing it. A sunburn could cause a flare-up.

What causes psoriasis to worsen?

Psoriasis can be worse by stress, illness, lack of sleep, and damage, particularly to your child’s skin. Infection with the bacteria Streptococcus, which causes tonsillitis, causes psoriasis to worsen.
