Psoriasis Treatment in Hyderabad
Psoriasis is a long-term, immune-driven skin condition and it’s closely tied to your overall metabolic health. At IDEA Clinics, psoriasis treatment in Hyderabad is led by an experienced dermatologist, Dr Uma Chakravadhanula, and backed by our metabolic and endocrine team so we treat not just the visible skin, but the inflammation and health risks beneath it. Consultations are at our Madhapur centre and online for patients across Hyderabad.
What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition in which skin cells grow far too quickly, building up into thick, scaly patches. It isn’t contagious, and it isn’t caused by poor hygiene it’s driven by an overactive immune system. Psoriasis tends to come and go in flare-ups, and while it can’t be permanently cured, it can be effectively managed and controlled with the right treatment.
Common Symptoms
- Raised, red or discoloured patches of skin covered with silvery-white scales
- Dry, cracked skin that may itch, burn or bleed
- Flaking on the scalp
- Thickened, pitted or ridged nails
- Stiff or swollen joints (in some patients — see psoriatic arthritis below)
Types of Psoriasis We Treat
Plaque Psoriasis
The most common type — raised, scaly patches, often on the elbows, knees, lower back and scalp.
Scalp Psoriasis
Scaling and flaking on the scalp, sometimes mistaken for severe dandruff. Our scalp psoriasis treatment in Hyderabad targets the scalp specifically while protecting hair.
Guttate Psoriasis
Small, drop-shaped spots, often triggered after an infection more common in younger patients.
Inverse Psoriasis
Smooth, red patches in skin folds (underarms, groin, under the breasts).
Pustular Psoriasis
Less common — white pustules surrounded by red skin, needing prompt specialist care.

What Causes Psoriasis — and the Metabolic Link
Psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system that speeds up skin-cell turnover. It’s partly genetic, and it’s now well recognised that psoriasis is linked to metabolic health people with psoriasis have a higher risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease. This two-way link is why IDEA treats psoriasis differently.
Common Triggers
- Stress
- Infections (like strep throat)
- Skin injury
- Cold, dry weather
- Smoking and alcohol
- Certain medications
- Obesity and metabolic stress.
Everyday Skin Care Tips
- Moisturise daily, especially after bathing
- Use lukewarm water and a mild soap
- Avoid scratching and picking at scales
- Follow your prescribed plan, and do not stop treatment without asking your doctor
- Manage stress and sleep well
Psoriasis and Your Whole-Body Health
Most skin clinics treat the patches. As the Institute of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Adiposity, we also look at what psoriasis is signalling underneath. Psoriasis shares its inflammation with metabolic conditions, so alongside your skin treatment we can screen for and help manage the linked risks — blood sugar, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol. It’s dermatology plus metabolic care, in one place — something a standalone skin clinic can’t offer.
Psoriasis and Joint Pain (Psoriatic Arthritis)
Some people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis — joint pain, stiffness and swelling. Because this can cause lasting joint damage if missed, we check for early signs and coordinate care where needed.
How Psoriasis Is Diagnosed
Dr Uma Chakravadhanula diagnoses psoriasis through a clinical skin examination and history. Where needed, a small skin biopsy or blood tests help confirm the type and rule out other conditions and we may check metabolic markers as part of your assessment.
Psoriasis Treatment Options at IDEA Clinics
Treatment is matched to your type, severity and overall health. Psoriasis can’t be cured, but the goal is clear, comfortable skin and long, flare-free periods.
Topical Treatments
Prescription creams and ointments — including medicated moisturisers and scalp treatments — to reduce scaling, inflammation and itching in mild to moderate psoriasis.
Systemic & Medical Management
Oral medication and structured medical management for more widespread or stubborn psoriasis, with regular monitoring by your dermatologist.
Biologic Therapy
For moderate-to-severe psoriasis, biologics are advanced, targeted injectable medicines that calm the specific immune signals driving the disease. At IDEA these are carefully prescribed and monitored by your doctor, with the safety checks these medicines require.
Metabolic & Lifestyle Support
Because psoriasis and metabolic health are linked, we support weight, diet, blood sugar and cardiovascular health as part of controlling the condition our on-brand advantage.
