Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am suffering with Psoriasis. Please suggest treatment.

Answered by Dr. Aditi Dhanta

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I saw your photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You are having psoriasis and I would like to tell you about your disease. Psoriasis is a relapsing condition and usually exacerbates in winters. It will not spread to other people by touching. It will not affect your internal organs. It is treatable but not curable. It will get cleared but can reappear. Nothing to worry about it. As it is in limited area only application of topical steroids will suffice but if there is more body involvement then we will start oral medicines. Presently, I am prescribing your treatment and you can review in 20 days.

The Probable causes

The probable cause is Papulosquamous inflammatory disorder.

Investigations to be done

Do Liver function test and complete blood count.

Probable diagnosis

The probable diagnosis is Chronic plaque psoriasis.

Treatment plan

Use Topisal 6% (Clobetasol propionate) ointment for local application in evening, tablet Levocetirizine 5 mg evening. Use Coconut oil for local application in evening and morning.

Preventive measures

Use oil or moisturizer. Keep skin supple.

Regarding follow up

Review after 20 days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
