Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects the skin’s regeneration process, leading to the rapid buildup of skin cells. This results in dry, scaly patches that can cause discomfort, itching, and inflammation. As a long-term condition, psoriasis often goes through cycles of flare-ups and remission, with symptoms varying in severity.

A well-structured skincare routine plays a crucial role in managing psoriasis. Hydrating creams and gentle cleansers help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier, reducing dryness and irritation. Ingredients like salicylic acid and coal tar can aid in exfoliation, while soothing components such as aloe vera and ceramides provide relief from itching and redness.

Psoriasis can also affect the scalp and nails, requiring specialised skincare and treatment approaches. While there is no cure, targeted treatments and proper skincare can significantly improve the condition and enhance overall skin health.
