Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a common skin condition that can cause red and scaly lesions that can be itchy as well. It presents most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp, but can appear anywhere on the body. It tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a while or going into remission. After consultation with our expert Dermatologists, VIDA Dermatology can offer several tailored options for this chronic condition. Treatments may include non-invasive phototherapy treatments, which can dramatically improve the appearance and symptoms of psoriasis without the need for daily use of creams or pills. Phototherapy treatments are also currently covered by Alberta Health Care.
