Dermatologist in New Orleans discusses methods of controlling psoriasis
By Dr. Mary LupoMen and women diagnosed with psoriasis take the time to speak to a board certified dermatologist about the methods of controlling their condition. Controlling psoriasis may be done in a variety of ways, and greatly depends on the severity.
First, it is beneficial to determine the triggers of psoriasis. Since psoriasis is an underlying issue with the immune system, flare-ups may be caused by:
- Medications
- Disease
- Infections
- Stress
- Cold, dry weather
- Smoking
- Skin trauma
- Diet
- Poorly controlled chronic diseases
A board certified dermatologist such as Dr. Mary Lupo in New Orleans can provide a thorough evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and treatment options for her patients. Psoriasis is not curable at this point, but with the assistance of a medical team, can be controlled and maintained at a reasonable level.
If you are concerned that psoriasis is affecting your life, contact the team at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology today to schedule a consultation appointment with our board certified dermatologist. The practice can be reached by calling (504) 777-3047.
