FAQs About Psoriasis Treatment in Boca Raton and Delray Beach
+ Q: What causes psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to grow and build up more quickly than normal. This rapid turnover leads to thick, scaly patches that may be red, itchy, or inflamed. Genetics, stress, infections, certain medications, and environmental factors can all trigger flare-ups. In Boca Raton and Delray Beach, heat, sun exposure, and stress may influence symptoms for some patients. At Barnett Dermatology, our dermatologists evaluate individual triggers and create personalized treatment plans to manage flare-ups effectively.
+ Q: Is psoriasis contagious?
No, psoriasis is not contagious. It cannot be spread through skin contact, sharing personal items, or close physical interaction. Because psoriasis is an immune-mediated condition, it develops internally rather than from infection. Patients in Boca Raton and Delray Beach can feel confident knowing their condition poses no risk to others.
+ Q: Can psoriasis be cured?
There is currently no permanent cure for psoriasis, but it can be successfully managed with medical treatment. Many patients experience long periods of clear or improved skin with the right care plan. At Barnett Dermatology in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, we offer advanced treatment options designed to reduce inflammation, slow skin cell overproduction, and improve overall skin health.
+ Q: When should I see a dermatologist for psoriasis?
You should see a dermatologist if psoriasis patches are spreading, becoming painful, interfering with daily activities, or not responding to over-the-counter treatments. Early intervention can help prevent worsening symptoms and potential complications, including joint involvement. The dermatologists at Barnett Dermatology in Boca Raton and Delray Beach provide comprehensive care to help patients achieve better long-term control of psoriasis.
+ Q: How much does psoriasis treatment cost at Barnett Dermatology?
The cost of psoriasis treatment depends on the severity of the condition and the type of therapy recommended. Treatment options may include prescription topical medications, light therapy, oral medications, or biologic injections. During your consultation at our Boca Raton or Delray Beach office, your dermatologist will explain your options and discuss pricing and insurance coverage based on your personalized treatment plan.
