Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition caused by an overactive immune response. It leads to red, itchy patches covered with silvery scales — and at Blue Ribbon Dermatology, we're here to help you manage it effectively.
These patches, called plaques, can appear anywhere but are most common on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. Symptoms vary in severity from occasional mild outbreaks to persistent discomfort. While there is no single cause, genetics and triggers like stress, infection, or injury to the skin can play a role. Recognizing your triggers and early signs can help you and our team develop a personalized treatment plan.
At Blue Ribbon Dermatology, we understand the impact psoriasis can have on your daily life and self-esteem. Our caring team listens to your concerns, answers questions in clear language, and works with you step by step.
