Psoriasis in Devon, PA

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania assists patients of all ages in the treatment of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition, which can show up as scaly, red patches of skin that can become itchy, inflamed, and can even scab. These plaques can vary in size and location, but commonly form on the elbows, hands, knees, head, and lower back. There are a number of different forms of psoriasis. Although many cases can be mild, some can be difficult to deal with and may require multiple treatments. It is essential to know that psoriasis is not contagious and can't be spread person to person. At our Devon, PA clinic, our skilled team works with patients to diagnose and effectively treat the symptoms of psoriasis.

Although there is no cure for psoriasis, you'll find a variety of options available to treat the condition, depending on the location, severity, and type of psoriasis you have. Mild cases may be treated with prescription creams, ointments, and lotions. If your scalp is affected, shampoos, sprays, and oils may be utilized. For those with moderate to severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, systemic medications that are taken orally or by injection may be needed. These are therapies that can target the psoriasis pathway throughout your body. At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania, we will develop a personalized treatment plan specifically for your needs for the best possible outcome.

Psoriasis is a skin condition that is often characterized by red, scaly patches. Common symptoms can include:

  • Bright, red patches of skin
  • Flaky and white scales on the skin
  • Plaques that may appear on both sides of the body, commonly elbows, knees, and buttocks
  • Scalp involvement ranging from minor scaling to thick, crusted plaques
  • Itching, especially before flare-ups
  • Skin bleeding when scales are picked or scraped off

I just had my first appointment here and it was positive all around! Everyone I interacted with was so helpful and extremely pleasant. Everything was explained thoroughly and ample time was spent on all of my concerns. I will definitely be back & I'm so glad I commuted to this location from outside the city, 100% worth it!

Had the best experience here! From the moment I walked in, to my appointment with Steph, to leaving - everything was 10/10. I’ve gone to several dermatologists before and was never treated with such attentiveness and patience for all my questions before. Will definitely be coming back and encouraging everyone to come here!
