General Health Information

One thing many people don’t know about psoriasis is that there is more
than one type. To help clarify the differences, let’s take a look at
the most common form, plaque psoriasis.
There are a variety of psoriasis treatments available. The most popular
version consists of topical creams and ointments. Many times these
creams have ingredients like synthetic steroids and moisturizing
ingredients added. In some cases, your health care professional may
suggest a topical treatment in addition to light therapy. UVB and other
types of light lamps or lasers are used to help clear up plaque
psoriasis. Adequate treatment is very important as this type of
psoriasis very rarely heals on its own.
