Aim of Psoriasis Treatment

A wide choice of treatment is available to help clear if not control and improve psoriasis. The aim
of psoriasis treatment include:

• Reduce the disease extent of psoriasis
  
  
• Control of the symptoms of itch, scaling and joint pains
  
  
• Remission - clearing the skin of psoriasis patches
  
  
• Prevention of complications like erythrodermic or generalized psoriasis, joint deformities
  
  
• Minimize or eliminate the negative psychosocial impact of psoriasis
  
  
• Prevention of recurrence

It is important to define the aims of treatments when starting and to reviewand monitor the results or response to the therapy used.

The clinical features of psoriasis can be correlated to the presence of inflammatory cells (immune or white blood cells) in the upper part of the skin which release certain chemicals (cytokine) which stimulate the epidermal cells of the skin to multiply rapidly resulting in the overproduction of scales.

The various modalities of treatment work for suppressing and eliminating the activity of the immune cells.

The choice of the methods of therapy in psoriasis has to be individualized. Most patients are treated with a combination of treatments. Not all treatments are effective or all people with psoriasis.

Psoriasis treatment that did not work before may work better in combination with another modality. The treatment may need to be changed if response is poor.

Treatment for clearing the psoriasis (clearance phase of establishing remission) often differs from the ones for maintaining the remission/maintenance phase. The dermatologist may want to rotate the treatments to avoid or minimize the unwanted effects of long term therapy with one treatment method.
