Overview
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to multiply rapidly, resulting in thick, red, scaly plaques on the skin. It most commonly affects the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back, and may also involve the nails and joints (psoriatic arthritis). While psoriasis cannot be cured, it can be effectively controlled with the right treatment. At DermcareMD in Kothrud, Pune, Dr. Neha Athalye provides comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to the type and severity of your psoriasis.

How We Treat
Dr. Neha Athalye begins with a thorough clinical assessment to classify the psoriasis type and severity, and to identify potential triggers. Treatment follows a stepwise approach — topical therapies for mild disease, phototherapy for moderate-to-widespread involvement, and systemic agents for more severe or resistant cases. Patient education on trigger avoidance, skin care, and long-term maintenance is an essential part of management.
