Although there is no cure, there are more effective psoriasis treatments today than ever before. Treating psoriasis can help improve symptoms as well as lower the risk of developing psoriasis comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and depression.
Treatments for psoriasis include:
- Topicals, including over-the-counter topicals, topical steroids, and topical non-steroids
- Phototherapy
- Systemics, including oral, biologic, and biosimilar treatments
