Psoriasis: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment

How psoriasis is diagnosed and treated: main signs, dermatoscopy and severity scoring, topical therapy, Daavlin narrowband UVB 311 nm, excimer laser and biologic therapy. Fergana and Kokand.

What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease with red plaques and silvery scaling. Joints and nails may also be affected. A complete cure is not yet available, but modern therapy can maintain long remission periods.

Why it matters

Psoriasis affects 2–3% of people worldwide. Itching, bleeding lesions, and social discomfort reduce quality of life. Early proper treatment can achieve 90–95% skin clearance.

Risk factors and triggers

• Stress and poor sleep
• Infections (tonsillitis, streptococcus)
• Certain medications
• Alcohol and smoking
• Dry cold climate

Modern treatment pathways

Topical therapy

Corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and moisturizers are first-line for mild to moderate disease.

Phototherapy (UVB 311 nm)

Highly effective for widespread plaques. Narrow-band UVB acts selectively on affected skin.

Systemic and biologic therapy

Severe cases may require specialist-supervised biologics.
