Psoriasis

But the outlook is good, regardless of whether your psoriasis is a mild irritation or a major discomfort. Although there is no cure for Psoriasis, there are lots of good treatments that can help reduce the discomfort and improve the appearance of your skin. You may need to try a few different treatments but the chances are that eventually you'll find something that works well for you. And there's a lot that you can do for yourself, too, to keep your psoriasis symptoms under control.

This website explains psoriasis and its treatment. You'll find practical advice on your medicines and healthy lifestyle changes to help put yourself in charge of your condition, including exercise, diet and relaxation tips.

The website is designed so that you can pick out topics that are of interest to you. So whether your psoriasis has only recently been diagnosed and you're finding out about it for the first time, or whether you'd like to delve deeper into the subject after having the condition for some time, you've come to the right place. We also have a section dedicated to providing information specifically for carers of people who have psoriasis and information on psoriatic arthritis.

In this section, you can learn about the causes and types, signs and symptoms and treatments for psoriasis. You can also find out about non-drug treatments for psoriasis, including diet and lifestyle changes you can make, as well as how to get the best out of your NHS services, practical support and information for carers.
