Understanding and Applying Psoriasis Treatment
Effective management of psoriasis often involves a multi-faceted approach, combining specialist psoriasis cream with general skincare and lifestyle adjustments. Topical treatments are a cornerstone of psoriasis management, working directly on the affected areas to alleviate discomfort.
- Emollients and Moisturisers: Regular use of emollients like Doublebase Gel or E45 Cream helps to keep the skin hydrated, reducing dryness, itching, and cracking. These are crucial for daily care, even when symptoms are mild. You can find more general skin support in our Skin Care department.
- Targeted Creams: For specific patches, products containing ingredients like coal tar (e.g., Psoriderm Cream) or salicylic acid can help slow skin cell growth and reduce scaling. For scalp psoriasis, specialised shampoos and gels such as Dermalex Scalp Psoriasis Treatment Gel or those found in our Shampoo & Conditioner range are essential.
- Steroid Creams: Mild steroid creams can be used for short periods to reduce inflammation and itching in more persistent areas. Always follow product instructions carefully.
Remember that consistency is key for any psoriasis treatment. Maintaining a regular skincare routine and seeking professional advice can significantly improve your condition. For more in-depth information, read our expert guide on Psoriasis: Symptoms, Treatments and Causes.
