Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My son-in-law is 35 years old and is suffering from psoriasis. Is there any cure?

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Suvash Sahu

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I have seen your query and concern. With your descriptions, it seems your son-in-law has psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic genetically influenced immunologically based inflammatory disease of skin and joints. Factors that aggravate psoriasis include stress, alcohol, smoking, trauma, sun, oral corticosteroids, beta-blockers, lithium, drugs used to treat malaria, painkillers, etc. There are lots of treatments available for psoriasis.

  1. The excimer laser is a mode of phototherapy and is an ultraviolet B radiation system that consists of monochromatic light useful for localized affected areas of skin.
  2. Another more focused therapy is target laser therapy which uses a more precise wavelength of ultraviolet radiation and is more effective. Handheld laser wands are other good modalities to treat psoriasis in hard-to-treat areas, such as the elbows, knees, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and scalp.
  3. Excimer laser treatments are performed as an OPD procedure. Each session takes only a few minutes. During the treatment excimer laser directly focused at patches of psoriasis. during this procedure, you may feel some warmth at the site.
  4. Biologics that are safe and effective.
  5. Simply paleo diet cannot treat psoriasis.

But I would suggest before concluding it psoriasis must go for a skin biopsy for confirmation.

I hope this helps.
