Psoriasis Treatment In Kampala
We provide expert care for psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly, and itchy patches on the skin. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the immune system triggers an overproduction of skin cells, leading to inflammation and scaling. While it is a lifelong condition, proper treatment can help manage symptoms and improve skin health.

1. Plaque Psoriasis
- The most common type, causing thick, red patches with silvery-white scales
- Typically appears on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back
2. Guttate Psoriasis
- Causes small, red, drop-shaped spots on the skin
- Often triggered by infections like strep throat
3. Inverse Psoriasis
- Appears as smooth, red, inflamed skin in body folds (underarms, under breasts, groin)
