Psoriasis Treatment in Saudi Arabia

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to scaling on the skin's surface. This buildup of cells results in inflammation and redness around the scales. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) disease that tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a time or going into remission. It is not contagious. The exact cause of psoriasis isn't fully understood, but it is believed to be related to an immune system problem involving T cells and other white blood cells.

Symptoms of psoriasis vary from person to person and depend on the type of psoriasis. Common signs and symptoms include red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales, dry and cracked skin that may bleed, itching, burning or soreness, and thickened, pitted, or ridged nails. Psoriatic arthritis is an additional symptom for some, leading to swollen and painful joints. The severity of psoriasis can range from mild, affecting small areas of skin, to severe, involving large areas of skin. Triggers for this condition may include stress, skin injuries, certain medications, infections, or changes in climate.

Treatment for psoriasis focuses on controlling symptoms and preventing infections. Options include topical treatments like corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues, light therapy (phototherapy), and systemic medications for more severe cases. Biologic drugs that target specific parts of the immune system are also used and can be highly effective. Lifestyle changes such as stress reduction, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding triggers can help manage symptoms. Since psoriasis varies widely in severity and response to treatment, a personalized approach tailored by a healthcare provider is crucial.
