Psoriasis: Diagnosis and Treatment

Submit Abstract Register Now

Psoriasis is a life-long condition that can be controlled with treatment. It may go away for a long time and then return. With proper treatment it does not affect your overall health. Some people with psoriasis have a type of arthritis.

Psoriatic arthritis can develop slowly with mild symptoms, or it can develop quickly and be severe. Early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of psoriatic arthritis can help prevent or limit extensive joint damage that occurs in later stages of the disease. A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in skin diseases. There’s no cure for psoriasis. But with treatment, you can reduce inflammation and skin irritation.
