How Psoriasis Is Diagnosed and Treated

Psoriasis is a medical condition that causes dry, scaly patches to appear on your skin. If you think you may have psoriasis, make an appointment with your dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.

Psoriasis is diagnosed with an examination and skin biopsy. Treatment options your dermatologist may suggest include topically-applied lotions or ointments, oral or injected medications, and light therapy. You can learn more about each of these treatment options in detail by watching this video.
