Best Dermatologist Doctors for Eczema And Psoriasis Management in Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Psoriasis is a systemic T-cell-mediated autoimmune disorder characterized by accelerated epidermal keratinocyte proliferation, resulting in thick, erythematous plaques covered by silvery-white scales on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. In Chennai, specialist dermatologists provide targeted medical management to induce and sustain clinical remission.

Mild-to-moderate plaques respond to topical corticosteroids paired with calcipotriol (vitamin D3 analog) and salicylic acid keratolytics. Moderate-to-severe disease is managed with Narrowband UVB phototherapy (311nm), oral immunosuppressants (methotrexate, cyclosporine), or targeted biologic injections (IL-17, IL-23, TNF inhibitors).

Dermatologists also screen for psoriatic arthritis in patients presenting with joint stiffness. Doctor consultations start at around ₹500.
