Psoriasis is a recurring inflammatory skin condition that appears in the form of scaly, thick, pink plaques on the body. In addition to causing itching, pain and cosmetic concerns, it may also affect the scalp, nails and joints. It can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and/or mental health challenges.
Psoriasis is not contagious, but it can have a significant impact on daily life. It is usually triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
At The Walcote Practice, our Specialist Doctor In Dermatology, Dr Annabel Freeborough, provides personalised treatment plans designed not only to bring any psoriasis flare-ups under control but also to maintain an ongoing improvement in your skin, with her medical care including:
• Topical treatments tailored to your individual skin needs
• Psychological support, recognising the emotional impact of psoriasis
• Monitoring cardiovascular risk factors, as part of holistic care
• Lifestyle guidance to help optimise your skin health and overall wellbeing
• Referral for hospital treatment, if required, depending upon psoriasis severity and responsiveness to topical treatments
