Psoriasis Treatment in Orlando, FL
What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that occurs when skin cells grow at an abnormally fast rate. This quick growth causes the skin to become red, dry, scaly, and scabby. Regular skin cells turn over and flake about once a month or every four weeks. Sufferers of psoriasis possess skin cells that build up quickly and form plaques that range in diameter, often around the elbows, knees, hands, scalp, and lower back.
There are several different forms of psoriasis. One kind referred to as plaque psoriasis is the most commonly experienced. While some cases of psoriasis are considered mild, a few are difficult to deal with and can require multiple therapies throughout an individual's lifetime. It's important to remember that psoriasis isn't contagious and can't be spread from person to person. However, with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, psoriasis symptoms can be managed, leading to fewer flare-ups and a more comfortable life. If you're suffering from dry, itchy, rough skin, contact Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics in Orlando, FL to schedule a skin assessment and start your journey to relief.
How Do You Treat Psoriasis?
While there is no cure for psoriasis, there are many treatments available to manage the condition and its painful symptoms. During your first visit to Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics, we'll perform a comprehensive skin assessment and build out a treatment plan based on the severity and type of psoriasis you have. Minor cases can be cleared with prescription lotions, creams, and ointments. If your scalp is affected, shampoos, sprays, and oils can be utilized. There are also systemic medications, which are taken by mouth or injected and work throughout the body. They are usually used for patients with moderate or severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
What Are the Symptoms of Psoriasis?
The most common symptom linked to psoriasis is the development of plaques — raised, vividly red patches of skin that are covered with loose, silver scales. Other symptoms of psoriasis include:
- Dry or cracked skin
- Recurring rashes
- Itchy or inflamed skin
- Psoriasis plaques can be red, reddish brown or brown
- Discolored or pitted nails (on the hands or feet)
Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics Reviews
Dr Grayman genuinely cares for her patients. She takes the time to listen and is very knowledgeable. I’ve been to 2 dermatologist about a scalp condition but she was the first doctor to demonstrate sensitivity, understanding, patience, and provided a treatment plan that actually gives me some hope. Thank you again Dr Grayman.
I started seeing Dr. Grayman in March for my hair and alopecia. In the last several months my skin has cleared and my hair is filling in. I'm very happy with the care I've received and her staff is great never once have I felt rushed. She is a direct communicator which I love. I specially sought out an African America dermatologist and she is more than worth the wait. I have had to wait in office once or twice but I wait anytime I go to the Dr. It happens. Patience and kindness goes a long way.
Requested a last minute appointment and was able to get into the office where Dr. Grayman and her staff were helpful and professional.
Dr. Grayman is absolutely amazing! She keeps my skin glowing & youthful. I love that she continues to expand her services. The office staff is professional & pleasant. Love the entire office vibe!
I’ve been going to Pure Skin Dermatology for several years for my hair and skin care needs. Dr. Grayman is both knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend her.
