Supportive Care and Psoriasis Treatment in Madurai
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition. It tends to affect the skin, leading to red and inflamed patches on the skin and covering it with silvery scales. These commonly occur on the knees, elbows, scalp, and lower back. Although the condition is not contagious, it can greatly impact the mental health of individuals.

Treatment Options
Recommended Psoriasis Treatments at Our Madurai Clinic
We are one of the renowned Psoriasis treatment clinics in Madurai, working towards providing professional care through effective treatment and a supportive community to restore your skin health.
Phototherapy
Light therapy exposes the affected skin to controlled ultraviolet (UV) light doses — one of the most effective options to reduce inflammation and slow increased growth of skin cells.
Topical Treatments
Specialist-prescribed creams, ointments, and gels including vitamin D analogues, corticosteroids, retinoids, and calcineurin inhibitors to reduce inflammation and itching.
Biologic Therapies
Advanced treatments targeting immune system molecules involved in psoriasis, administered through injections or intravenous infusions to dramatically improve symptoms and quality of life.
Systemic Medications
For more severe cases resistant to topical treatment — oral or injectable medicines working from within to target the underlying immune system dysfunction responsible for psoriasis.
Lifestyle Changes That Complement Your Treatment
Along with medical treatments, our specialists guide lifestyle modifications that can complement the treatment plan:
Stress management techniques including meditation, yoga and counselling.
Maintaining a healthy balanced diet and avoiding triggers that worsen symptoms.
Adopting a gentle skincare routine to nourish and protect your skin daily.
Avoiding alcohol which can worsen psoriasis symptoms and reduce treatment effectiveness.
Protecting skin from injury — even minor cuts can trigger new psoriasis patches (Koebner phenomenon).
Regular follow-up appointments to monitor remission and adjust treatment as needed.
Psoriasis Treatment — Common Questions
Can psoriasis be cured permanently?
There is no permanent cure for psoriasis. The goal is to get the patients into long lasting remission (absence of symptoms). The best dermatologist team at Adityan's Skin & Hair ensure that you get quick and long lasting remission.
Are there any side effects associated with psoriasis treatment?
Each treatment carries its own set of side effects. For example, topical treatment may sometimes cause skin irritation or dryness. On the other hand, systemic medications and biological therapies may have more systemic side effects. Our psoriasis specialists will ensure that you experience close to minimal side effects while your skin improves into remission.
How long will it take to see improvement post the treatment?
The timeline for improvement will vary for each individual. At Adityan's skin and hair laser center, we strive to induce remission rapidly and long lasting. Since there has been a rapid development of newer drugs in the past few years, we are able to offer dramatic improvement in the shortest possible time.
Is psoriasis contagious?
No. Psoriasis is not contagious and cannot be passed on to others through physical contact. It is an autoimmune condition that involves the immune system which causes increased shedding of the skin cells, and is not caused by an infection or external factor.
Can alcohol worsen psoriasis symptoms?
Yes. Alcohol can worsen the symptoms and may decrease the effectiveness of specific treatments. Reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption is one of the lifestyle modifications our team will recommend.
What triggers a psoriasis flare-up?
Common triggers include stress, infections (particularly streptococcal throat infections), certain medications (such as beta-blockers and lithium), skin injuries, smoking, alcohol, and cold dry weather.
Can psoriasis affect the joints?
Yes. A related condition called psoriatic arthritis affects up to 30% of people with psoriasis, causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. If you experience joint symptoms alongside skin symptoms, inform your dermatologist so appropriate systemic treatment can be initiated.
Is biologic therapy suitable for everyone with psoriasis?
Biologic therapy is typically reserved for moderate-to-severe psoriasis that has not responded to topical treatments, phototherapy, or conventional systemic medications. Our specialist will evaluate your suitability and medical history before recommending biologics.
