Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, causing them to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that are often itchy and sometimes painful. Psoriasis is a persistent, long-term condition with periods of flare and remission. It can occur on various parts of the body, including the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.
Psoriasis treatments aim to stop skin cells from growing so quickly and to remove scales. This can involve topical treatments, light therapy, and systemic medications. Lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, and minimizing alcohol intake, can also help manage symptoms.
DermOnDemand makes it easy for you to get a diagnosis and treatment for your skin condition in 24 hours.
Many skin conditions can be diagnosed and treated through teledermatology, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes. If we feel you need to have an in-person visit, we will recommend you to our network of dermatology providers.
Research has shown that teledermatology is generally as effective as in-person dermatology care for many skin conditions. However, there may be some limitations to what can be diagnosed and treated through teledermatology, and some patients may still require in-person care for more complex or severe conditions. If we feel you need to have an in-person visit, we will recommend you to our network of dermatology providers.
Typically it involves uploading photos of your skin condition, filling out a medical history questionnaire. If we have further questions our skincare clinical team will message you. The clinical team will then evaluate your condition and provide a diagnosis and treatment plan.
