Our experienced Podiatrist will conduct a thorough assessment of your psoriasis condition on your feet. This will involve examining the affected areas, evaluating the severity of the condition, and identifying any specific concerns or complications.
Based on the assessment, our Podiatrist will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. The plan may include a combination of the following approaches:
Prescription-strength topical creams, ointments, or gels containing corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, or other immunosuppressive agents may be recommended to manage psoriasis symptoms, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
If deemed suitable for your condition, our Podiatrist may suggest phototherapy or light therapy. This treatment involves exposing the affected skin to ultraviolet (UV) light under controlled conditions to help reduce inflammation and slow down skin cell turnover.
Keeping the skin well-moisturized is crucial in managing psoriasis. Our Podiatrist may recommend specific moisturizers or emollients that are suitable for psoriasis-prone skin to help alleviate dryness, reduce itching, and promote skin hydration.
In addition to medication, our Podiatrist may suggest lifestyle modifications and self-care practices that can help manage inflammation and reduce flare-ups. This may include recommendations on stress reduction, dietary adjustments, and maintaining overall skin health.
Our Podiatrist will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, assess the effectiveness of the treatment plan, and make any necessary adjustments. They will also provide ongoing guidance and support to help you manage your psoriasis effectively.
