Psoriasis Treatment in Hyderabad
A long-term immune-mediated skin condition producing thick, scaly plaques that flare and settle, commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back.
Also known as: Plaque psoriasis · Da-us-Sadaf · Chambal
1. Symptoms you may notice
- Raised patches covered in silvery-white scale, often on the scalp, elbows, knees or lower back
- Itching, tightness or a burning feeling in the patches
- Scale that bleeds in fine points when it is picked off
- Pitted or thickened nails, and in some patients joint pain and swelling
2. How Unani medicine understands it
Unani pathology attributes psoriasis to Fasad-e-Dam — morbidity of the blood — with impaired hepatic clearance behind it, which is why treatment is directed inward rather than only at the plaques. The protocol matures and evacuates the morbid humor (Munzij-Mushil), supports liver function, and uses topical preparations to settle the skin while the internal correction takes effect.
3. What treatment involves
- Assessment of distribution and severity, triggers, and any joint involvement
- Munzij-Mushil (maturation and evacuation) therapy, staged over weeks under supervision
- Blood-purifying and immunomodulatory formulations including preparations of Mundi and Neem
- Medicated topical applications for active plaques, with instructions on bathing and emollients
- A written list of dietary and lifestyle triggers, and review visits to track flares against them

When to seek urgent care instead
These are not reasons to book an appointment. If any of them applies to you, go to a hospital or call emergency services now — our clinic is not the right place for them and delay causes harm.
- Psoriasis spreading rapidly over most of the body with fever or shivering — erythrodermic psoriasis needs hospital care
- Widespread small pus-filled spots appearing on red, tender skin
- New joint swelling and stiffness, which needs assessment for psoriatic arthritis

Frequently Asked Questions
Is psoriasis curable?
Psoriasis is a long-term condition and no system of medicine can promise it will never return. What is achievable, and what we aim for, is clearance of the active plaques and long periods with little or no disease — remission — maintained by keeping the triggers under control. A full course usually runs three to six months, and patients who stay with the dietary regimen hold their remission much longer than those who stop at clearance.
Can I continue my dermatologist's ointments alongside this?
Bring them with you and tell the physician what you are using, including any steroid creams and how long you have been on them. Strong topical steroids in particular are reduced gradually rather than stopped abruptly, because sudden withdrawal can trigger a rebound flare. Our physicians plan the change with you.
Does diet actually affect psoriasis?
Patients consistently report that certain foods precede their flares, and dietary correction is a formal part of the Unani protocol rather than general advice. What matters is finding your own triggers, which is why you will be asked to keep a simple record between visits instead of being handed a universal list of forbidden foods.
Discuss your case with an MD-qualified physician
Bring your reports and your current medication. The first consultation is about establishing what is actually going on, not about selling you a course of treatment.
