Condition
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. Management depends on severity, body areas involved, symptoms, nail or scalp changes, and previous treatment.
Psoriasis can appear as scaly plaques, scalp scaling, nail changes, or inflammation in sensitive areas. It can be persistent and may need a staged plan rather than short-term flare treatment alone.
Assessment focuses on confirming the diagnosis, understanding severity and location, and planning treatment that fits symptoms, risk, and ongoing review needs.
