Psoriasis affects around 2 in every 100 people in the UK and can appear anywhere on the body, most commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. It may cause itching, irritation, and discomfort, and in more severe cases, cracking or bleeding.
There is no cure, but treatments can significantly improve symptoms. Topical corticosteroids like Betnovate help reduce inflammation and redness, while combination treatments like Dovobet (calcipotriol and betamethasone) target both inflammation and skin cell turnover.
A licensed prescriber will assess your condition, symptoms, and medical history to recommend the most appropriate treatment, especially if over-the-counter options have not been effective.
Topical treatments are typically applied once or twice daily to affected areas. Results can often be seen within a week or two, with continued use required during flare-ups. Emollients and moisturisers are also important to keep the skin hydrated and improve the absorption of active treatments.
Triggers such as stress, skin injuries, certain medications, alcohol, and infections can worsen symptoms. Identifying and managing these factors is key to long-term control.
Ordering psoriasis treatment online is simple and discreet. Select your treatment, complete a short medical consultation, and a licensed UK prescriber will review your request. Approved treatments are delivered promptly and privately to your door.
