Patient's question:

I've been feeling itchy on my hands recently, and sometimes red, raised bumps appear, which are a bit hard. When I scratch them, they break open and white liquid oozes out. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have psoriasis. Is psoriasis the same as psoriasis? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

This condition, also known as psoriasis in clinical diagnosis, is what is commonly referred to as psoriasis. It is recommended that you avoid scratching the affected skin to prevent transmission. Under the guidance of a doctor, you may consider using some tar preparations, corticosteroid preparations, and immune-stabilizing preparations. Additionally, you can take some antihistamines to reduce swelling and pain. This disease tends to flare up easily, and there are some triggering factors.
