PERSONALISED PSORIASIS CARE · LAHORE

Psoriasis Treatment in Lahore

Psoriasis is a long-term skin condition in which skin cells build up more quickly than usual, causing raised, scaly patches that can be itchy or sore. It commonly affects the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back, but it can appear anywhere, and its severity varies a lot from person to person. Psoriasis is not contagious — you cannot catch it or pass it on through touch.

Because psoriasis behaves differently in each person, care starts with a proper assessment. Dr Saira Mohsin is a Consultant Dermatologist and Aesthetic Physician in Lahore (MBBS, MD Dermatology, King Edward Medical University). At Skin Solution by Dr Saira Mohsin, your consultation covers your skin, scalp and nails, your general health and any treatments you have already tried, before a plan is discussed.

Psoriasis assessment and skin care consultation with Dr Saira Mohsin in Lahore

Psoriasis assessment and treatment options

At your consultation, Dr Saira will examine the affected areas and ask about your history, possible triggers such as infections, stress or medicines, and any joint pain or stiffness — psoriasis can sometimes be linked with joint problems, which are important to notice early.

Treatment options are discussed after assessment and may include:

Moisturisers to reduce dryness and scaling
Prescription creams and ointments applied to the skin (topical treatments)
Medicated shampoos and scalp care for scalp psoriasis
Advice on gentle skin care and avoiding injury or irritation to the skin, which can trigger new patches
Discussion of further options or referral where psoriasis is extensive or not responding to topical treatment
A long-term review plan, because psoriasis care is usually ongoing rather than a single visit

There is currently no permanent cure for psoriasis, but modern treatment can control it well for many people. You will be given a realistic picture of what to expect.

Assessment first

Discuss when the patches appeared, changes over time, medicines and previous care. Bring the names or photographs of products you have tried, and mention pregnancy or pregnancy plans.

Personalised options

A plan may combine sun protection with prescribed topical treatment. Procedures are considered selectively after assessment; there is no single treatment that suits everyone.

Ongoing care

Psoriasis may persist or return. Consistent care and follow-up can support management, and your plan may need adjustment over time.

Daily skin care and living with psoriasis

Moisturise daily to keep the skin comfortable and reduce scaling
Bathe in lukewarm water with gentle, fragrance-free cleansers
Treat scalp psoriasis with the products advised at your consultation, and avoid aggressive scratching or picking at scale
Note your triggers — stress, throat infections, alcohol, smoking and some medicines can worsen psoriasis in some people
Keep follow-up appointments even when the skin improves, so the plan can be adjusted safely over time

Your psoriasis questions

No. Psoriasis is not an infection and cannot be spread by touching, sharing towels or close contact.

There is no permanent cure at present, but treatment can clear or greatly improve the skin for long periods. The aim of your plan is good long-term control with the least burden on you.

It depends on the type, extent and severity of your psoriasis and on your general health. Mild psoriasis may respond to creams alone; more extensive psoriasis needs a broader plan. That is why assessment comes first.

Yes. Psoriasis can cause nail changes, and some people develop psoriatic arthritis, which causes joint pain and stiffness. Mention any joint or nail symptoms at your consultation.

Yes, online consultations are available across Pakistan. An in-person visit may be recommended where the skin, scalp and nails need direct examination.
