Diagnosing Psoriasis

Diagnosing Psoriasis

Psoriasis is usually diagnosed by your general practitioner or dermatologist by looking at the affected part of your skin. Make sure you tell your doctor all the areas that are affected by your psoriasis and any additional signs or symptoms that you may be experiencing.

The information you share with them can help them in their diagnosis. Be sure to also tell them if you notice any changes to your skin or any triggers that may affect your symptoms.
