Who to turn to and what to say
Rather than letting the problem continue, it’s best to seek help as soon as you can. With psoriasis, no lesion is too small to treat. Your GP will have access to some treatments and can refer you to specialists (dermatologists) that have access to a wider range of treatments for psoriasis. For some people, just learning what the lesion is and that it is due to an illness of the immune system, not just a skin problem, can be an empowering step. The next step is to find out as much as you can about psoriasis and treatments so that you can help your doctor to help you take back control of how your skin looks. Make sure you check out the What is psoriasis section and download the information guide on Communicating with your GP to help you ask all the right questions. For some people, their psoriasis may need treatments that act below the skin, which are only available from a dermatologist. In this case, your GP needs to give you a referral to a dermatologist.

Treatments
Although there currently isn’t a cure for psoriasis, there are treatments that can help to manage it. Psoriasis treatments aim to reduce your psoriasis symptoms, such as removing scales and smoothing the skin, or to slow the overproduction of skin cells. What works for one person may not work for another and your skin may become resistant to certain psoriasis treatments over time. That’s why it’s important to know the different treatment options and to work with your GP or dermatologist to find the psoriasis treatment that is right for you.
