Foot and Leg Psoriasis Treatment

A number of treatments are available to alleviate symptoms and control outbreaks of psoriasis. Stress and injury can also exacerbate it. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes red, scaly patches on your feet and legs.

Diagnosis of psoriasis

Psoriasis manifests as raised, red, scaly patches on the feet and legs, as well as flaky, white, gray, or silver patches of skin.

It is also possible to develop small-area and large-area patches of psoriasis on the body in addition to the feet and legs.

It is possible to misdiagnose psoriasis on the toes and feet as a fungal infection or athlete's foot.

People with weakened immune systems can be diagnosed with psoriasis by a podiatrist.

Psoriasis treatments

It is possible to control psoriasis at home by using a combination of treatments, such as stress management techniques, moisturizing the skin, avoiding alcohol triggers, maintaining a healthy diet, and getting enough sunlight.

In order to make psoriasis less noticeable and manageable, a podiatrist may recommend a combination of treatments.

Skin cells that cause inflammation and plaque formation in psoriasis are stopped or slowed by stopping or slowing their growth.

The following treatments may be recommended by a podiatrist:

Topical medication
Oral medication
Injections
Ultraviolet (UV) light therapy
