What is it?
Psoriasis in children is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes red, thickened patches of skin covered with silvery-white scales. It can affect the scalp, elbows, knees, trunk, nails, or skin folds. The condition is not contagious and may fluctuate, with periods of flare-ups and improvement. Triggers can include infections, stress, skin injury, or cold weather.
How it works
At Claire Derma, management focuses on controlling inflammation, reducing scaling, and keeping the skin comfortable. The dermatologist assesses the type, extent, and severity of psoriasis and identifies possible triggers. Treatment may include topical medications, medicated shampoos for scalp involvement, moisturizers, and, in some cases, light-based therapy, along with long-term skin care guidance.
