If you’re looking for new ways to manage your plaque psoriasis, we are here to help. Keep reading to learn more about the three best ways to manage plaque psoriasis, including trying brand-new investigational treatments in a Plaque Psoriasis Clinical Trial.

Knowing Your Triggers

Psoriasis plaques appear as raised, inflamed, and scaly patches of skin that may also be itchy and painful. On Caucasian skin, plaques typically appear as raised, red patches covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells or scale. On skin of color, the plaques may appear darker and thicker and more of a purple or grayish color or darker brown.

Plaques can appear anywhere on the body, although they most often appear on the scalp, knees, elbows, and torso. Plaques generally appear symmetrically on the body, affecting the same areas of the body on the right and left sides. Psoriasis on certain locations, called high-impact sites, can have an increased negative impact on quality of life, regardless of the total area affected by psoriasis.

One of the best ways to manage flare-ups of these plaques is to know your triggers. Common triggers of plaque psoriasis include:

• Certain medications
• Starting or stopping medicines
• Infections
• Injury to the skin
• Stress
• Tobacco or alcohol use

Seek Professional Treatment

If over-the-counter treatments aren’t cutting it and you’re doing your best to manage your triggers, it might be time to see a doctor and seek professional treatment. Some of the most common treatments for plaque psoriasis include:

• Topicals: Creams/ointments to put directly on the plaques
• Phototherapy: Exposing the skin to ultraviolet light
• Systemics: Prescription drugs, including biologics and oral treatments
• Complementary and integrative medicines
