Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated dermatological condition characterized by accelerated
keratinocyte proliferation, resulting in erythematous plaques with silvery scales.
At Dermiiz, we offer holistic, evidence-based psoriasis management. Our dermatologists customize
treatment plans combining target-specific topicals, specialized phototherapy, barrier repair
emollient protocols, and systemic immunomodulators to achieve sustained remission.
What we provide for psoriasis treatment
Your dermatologist selects treatment after assessing the type,
severity, affected areas, joint symptoms, medical history, and response to previous care.
Advanced Biologic Injections
For eligible patients with moderate-to-severe plaque
psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, biologic injections can target specific immune
pathways such as TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-23 when conventional treatment has not
provided adequate control.
Topical and barrier care: prescription
creams, scalp applications, scale control, and medical moisturisers for mild or
localised disease.
Phototherapy: dermatologist-supervised
light treatment when it is clinically appropriate for the pattern and extent of
psoriasis.
Systemic treatment: oral or injectable
medicines for extensive, persistent, or joint-associated psoriasis, with regular
medical monitoring.
Pre-biologic safety screening: relevant
blood tests, tuberculosis and infection screening, organ profiles, and scheduled
follow-up before and during treatment.
Biologic medicines are prescription treatments and are not
suitable for everyone. The medicine, dose, and schedule are decided only after an
in-person dermatologist consultation and safety screening.
Variations of psoriasis we manage
Accurate clinical classification ensures the most effective, safe,
and targeted treatment approach.
Plaque Psoriasis
The most common form, presenting as raised, inflamed red
lesions covered with silvery white scales.
Guttate Psoriasis
Small, drop-like red spots frequently triggered by bacterial
throat infections in younger adults.
Scalp Psoriasis
Persistent plaque formation and stubborn flaking along the
hairline and scalp surface.
Inverse & Flexural Psoriasis
Smooth, red lesions found in skin folds such as underarms,
groin, and under breasts.
Benefits of specialized psoriasis care
Long-term disease control, symptom relief, and improved quality of
daily life.
Sustained Plaque Remission
Slows epidermal cell turnover to relieve itchiness,
scaling, and skin tightness effectively.
Significant reduction in itching, burning, and visible
skin scaling.
Medically monitored therapies to ensure long-term organ
and liver safety.
Empathetic lifestyle, trigger management, and stress
counseling.
Frequently asked questions
Have questions about our treatments? Here are answers to common
questions to help guide you on your treatment journey.
No. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition and is completely non-contagious. It cannot
be passed from person to person.
While there is currently no permanent cure, modern dermatological treatments can
clear lesions completely and maintain long periods of symptom-free remission.
Common triggers include emotional stress, skin injuries (Koebner phenomenon), cold
weather, infections, and certain medications.
Dandruff produces diffuse, greasy flakes, whereas scalp psoriasis presents with
thicker, sharply demarcated plaques with adherent silvery scales.
An anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet, limiting alcohol, and maintaining healthy
weight have been clinically shown to support treatment response.
Biologics may be considered for eligible patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis,
psoriatic arthritis, or disease that has not responded adequately to suitable
conventional treatment. A dermatologist must assess your condition and medical
history before recommending one.
Screening commonly includes blood tests and checks for tuberculosis and other
infections. Additional tests may be advised based on your health history and the
medicine being considered. Regular follow-up continues throughout treatment.
