Understanding Psoriasis — Causes & Treatment
Psoriasis Treatment Options at DermaVue Thiruvalla
Treatment is tailored to psoriasis severity, affected body surface area, and response to prior therapies. We start with the least aggressive effective option and escalate when needed.

Vitamin D analogues: calcipotriol alone or combined with steroid
Coal tar preparations for scalp and body plaques
Narrow-band UVB phototherapy — 2–3 sessions/week for 8–12 weeks

Psoriasis cannot currently be permanently cured but is very effectively controlled. Modern biologics achieve near-complete clearance (PASI 90) in 70–90% of eligible patients.
Yes. DermaVue Thiruvalla offers NB-UVB phototherapy — the gold standard for plaque and guttate psoriasis. Treatment involves 2–3 sessions per week for 8–12 weeks.
Natural sunlight helps many psoriasis patients in summer. High humidity and heat can worsen inverse psoriasis. Stress — a major psoriasis trigger — is managed through lifestyle counselling.
Yes. DermaVue initiates biologic therapy for moderate–severe psoriasis. Adalimumab, secukinumab, and ixekizumab offer dramatically superior results compared to traditional systemic agents.
Anti-inflammatory diets, weight management, and alcohol avoidance all reduce psoriasis severity. We counsel all patients on lifestyle modifications alongside pharmacological treatment.
Scalp psoriasis causes thick, well-defined silver scales extending beyond the hairline. Dandruff causes loose, greasy flakes without well-defined plaques. Dermatologist examination differentiates them accurately.
Yes. Guttate psoriasis often follows a streptococcal throat infection in children. We manage paediatric psoriasis with age-appropriate treatments and clear parental guidance.
