In Dermatologists Ridgewood we also deal with psoriasis. It is a common skin disease. In psoriasis, skin cells divide more quickly than normal. The excess skin cells build up to create flaky, red patches of skin that become inflamed and can make the skin feel itchy. Usually, the patches can cover a small area of skin, most often on the elbows, knees, scalp, or lower back, but they can also be widespread.
How is psoriasis treated? There is no long-term cure for psoriasis, but our dermatologists use a range of treatments to clear up the skin patches and soothe symptoms. The treatment chosen will depend on the severity and type of psoriasis. Our consultant dermatologists will usually begin with a mild treatment before moving on to stronger options if these prove ineffective for you.
