Psoriasis is a chronic and immune skin condition that causes the life cycle of skin cells to accelerate, leading to the accumulation of cells on the surface of the skin in the form of thick, red, and silvery white patches. It may appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. The severity of psoriasis varies from mild to severe and may be exacerbated by factors such as stress, weather, or infection. At the Horizon Medical Care Center in Ibri, We offer customized treatment protocols for psoriasis using the latest medications and topical and light treatments, under the supervision of dermatologists to ensure control of the condition and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Common types of psoriasis:

1. Plaque psoriasis: The most common, appearing as raised and peeled spots.

2. Reverse psoriasis: Appears in the folds of the body, such as under the armpits or behind the knee.

3. Scalp corticosteroids: may cause itching and temporary hair loss.

4. Nail psoriasis: It affects the fingernails and toenails and causes them to discolor or crack.
