What is Psoriasis and How To Treat This Common Skin Condition

Finding Relief from Psoriasis at Clinic 5C Dermatology

Personalized Care for Long-Term Comfort

Psoriasis is more common than you might think. According to the World Psoriasis Day consortium, about 2–3% of the global population lives with this chronic skin condition.

While it isn’t contagious and doesn’t have a cure, psoriasis can cause persistent discomfort (physically and emotionally) and especially when left untreated.

At Clinic 5C Dermatology in Spokane, we understand how frustrating psoriasis can be. That’s why we offer personalized treatment plans designed to reduce symptoms and help you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin.

What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the skin to regenerate too quickly, leading to a buildup of red, inflamed, scaly patches.

These patches often appear on areas like the elbows, knees, scalp, and midsection, but they can occur anywhere on the body.

While there is no cure, modern treatments can offer significant relief. Treatment can often reduce symptoms, calm flare-ups, and improve your skin’s appearance.

Common Psoriasis Symptoms

Psoriasis can look and feel different for everyone, which is why a personalized approach is key to effective treatment. You might have psoriasis if you’re experiencing:

  • Red, inflamed skin patches
  • Thick, silvery-white scales
  • Small scaly spots (especially in children)
  • Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
  • Itching, burning, or soreness
  • Stiff or swollen joints
  • Discomfort that worsens during flare-ups

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to talk with a dermatologist. Our team at Clinic 5C Dermatology in Liberty Lake and Spokane are here to listen, evaluate, and help you take control of your skin.

Your Personalized Psoriasis Treatment Plan

At Clinic 5C Dermatology, we treat more than symptoms, we treat people. During your in-person consultation, we’ll carefully evaluate your skin, learn about your health history and triggers, and build a custom treatment plan that may include:

  • Topical therapies
  • Prescription medications
  • Phototherapy (light therapy)
  • Lifestyle recommendations

Our goal is to reduce flare-ups, relieve discomfort, and restore your confidence, so you can feel like yourself again.
