Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the best treatment for psoriasis in Chennai?
The best treatment depends on the type and severity of psoriasis. Options include topical creams and ointments, phototherapy (light therapy), oral medications, or advanced biologic injections. At Chennai, dermatologists create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s condition.
Q. Can psoriasis be cured permanently?
Currently, psoriasis cannot be permanently cured. However, with the right treatment, symptoms can be managed effectively, flare-ups reduced, and long-term relief achieved. Many patients in Chennai have successfully controlled their psoriasis with consistent care.
Q. How much does psoriasis treatment cost in Chennai?
The cost varies depending on the treatment required. Basic topical therapies are usually affordable, while advanced options like biologics may be more expensive. After a consultation, our dermatologists provide a clear treatment plan with transparent pricing.
Q. Which doctor should I consult for psoriasis in Chennai?
You should consult a dermatologist, as they specialize in diagnosing and treating skin conditions like psoriasis. Experienced dermatologists focus on both medical and lifestyle management of psoriasis.
Q. Is psoriasis contagious?
No, psoriasis is not contagious. You cannot catch it from touching someone who has the condition. It is an autoimmune disease linked to genetics and immune system activity.
Q. What triggers psoriasis flare-ups?
Common triggers include stress, cold weather, certain medications, infections, alcohol, and smoking. Our dermatologists also guide patients on lifestyle changes to help minimize flare-ups.
Q. Do lifestyle changes help with psoriasis?
Yes. Along with medical treatment, maintaining a healthy diet, reducing stress, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and moisturizing the skin regularly can make a big difference in managing psoriasis.
Q. Is psoriasis hereditary?
Yes, psoriasis can run in families. If one parent has psoriasis, the child’s risk is slightly higher. If both parents are affected, the chances increase further. However, not every child with a genetic risk will develop psoriasis.
Q. Can children develop psoriasis?
Yes, psoriasis can appear at any age, including in children. Pediatric psoriasis often looks similar to adult psoriasis but may require gentler, age-appropriate treatment.
Q. If I have psoriasis, will my child definitely get it?
Not necessarily. Psoriasis has a genetic component, but environmental and immune system factors also play a role. Many children of parents with psoriasis never develop the condition.
Q. What triggers psoriasis in children?
In children, psoriasis flare-ups are often triggered by infections (like strep throat), stress, skin injuries, or certain medications. A pediatric dermatologist can help identify and manage these triggers.
Q. How is psoriasis treated in children?
Treatment depends on the severity. Doctors may recommend mild topical treatments, phototherapy, or carefully chosen medications. The focus is on safe, effective relief while minimizing side effects.
Q. When are biologics recommended for psoriasis?
Biologics are usually prescribed for moderate to severe psoriasis, or when other treatments like topical creams and phototherapy are not effective.
Q. Are biologics safe for psoriasis treatment?
Yes, biologics are considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a dermatologist. However, since they affect the immune system, regular check-ups and blood tests are necessary.
Q. What are the side effects of biologics for psoriasis?
Possible side effects include mild infections, injection site reactions, headaches, and fatigue. Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention.
Q. How much do biologics cost for psoriasis treatment in Chennai?
The cost of biologics can vary depending on the specific medication and dosage. They are generally more expensive than traditional treatments. Our dermatologist can provide guidance on options, costs, and possible insurance coverage.
Q. Do biologics cure psoriasis permanently?
Biologics do not cure psoriasis permanently, but they can significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Many patients achieve long-term remission with biologic therapy.
