Psoriasis

Psoriasis Treatment: Advanced, Personalized Relief

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune condition that causes inflammation and the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to red, itchy, and scaly patches. At Dr. Kumar Skin & Laser Clinic, Jamshedpur, we offer advanced, targeted Psoriasis treatment designed for long-term skin health. Our personalized approach integrates topical, systemic, and cutting-edge Biologic therapies to manage flare-ups, reduce symptoms, and significantly improve your quality of life.

Symptoms of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that speeds up skin cell growth, leading to inflammation and thick, scaly patches. While it’s not contagious, it can deeply affect your comfort and self-confidence. Early treatment helps reduce both symptoms and flare frequency. 

  • Red, inflamed skin patches
  • Silver-white scales or plaques
  • Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
  • Itching or burning sensation
  • Thickened or discolored nails
  • Joint stiffness (psoriatic arthritis)

Types of Psoriasis We Treat

  • Plaque Psoriasis – Raised, red patches covered with silvery scales — most common type.
  • Scalp Psoriasis – Thick scales and itching near the hairline or full scalp.
  • Guttate Psoriasis – Small, drop-like red spots — often seen after infections.
  • Inverse Psoriasis – Red, shiny rashes in skin folds like underarms and groin.
  • Pustular Psoriasis – White pus-filled bumps, mainly on palms and soles.
  • Erythrodermic Psoriasis – Severe redness and widespread peeling — requires urgent care.

Causes, Triggers & Diagnosis

Psoriasis is linked to immune dysfunction and is often triggered by:

  • Family history (genetics)
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Infections (e.g., strep throat)
  • Cold weather
  • Skin injuries or cuts
  • Certain medications


Most cases are diagnosed clinically. We may recommend:

  • Skin biopsy (to confirm the type)
  • Blood tests (if arthritis symptoms are present)
