Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and often life-altering lung disease that causes scarring of the lung tissue, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Expert, Compassionate Care to Help You Feel Comfortable in Your Skin
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, causing thick, scaly patches that can be itchy, painful, and emotionally distressing. While the condition can be lifelong, early diagnosis and personalized care can significantly ease symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve quality of life.
At Premium Healthcare, we provide comprehensive psoriasis evaluation and management in Miami and South Florida. Our team works closely with dermatologists, primary care providers, and specialists to support you every step of the way.

What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated skin disease in which skin cells build up rapidly, leading to inflammation and scaling. It often appears on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back but can affect any part of the body, including nails and joints.
Psoriasis can be caused or triggered by:

Immune system dysfunction leading to overactive skin cell growth
Genetic predisposition or family history
Stress or illness that activates the immune system
Skin injury (Koebner phenomenon)
Infections such as strep throat
Certain medications (e.g., beta-blockers, lithium)

Symptoms of Psoriasis
The symptoms of psoriasis can vary depending on the type and severity. Common signs include:

Raised, red patches of skin covered with silvery-white scales
Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
Itching, burning, or soreness in affected areas
Thickened or ridged nails (nail psoriasis)
Joint pain or stiffness (psoriatic arthritis)
Flare-ups that come and go over time

Because these symptoms can resemble other skin conditions, a thorough medical evaluation is essential.

Risk Factors
Several factors can increase your risk of developing psoriasis:

Family history of psoriasis or autoimmune disease
Age (can occur at any age but often develops between 15 and 35)
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
Obesity and metabolic syndrome
High stress levels
Certain infections or medications

At Premium Healthcare, we carefully evaluate your medical history, triggers, and lifestyle to identify underlying factors and personalize care.

How Psoriasis Is Diagnosed
Our team begins with a comprehensive consultation and physical exam. We may recommend the following diagnostic steps:

Skin examination – to assess appearance and distribution of lesions
Medical history – including family history and possible triggers
Skin biopsy – in select cases to confirm psoriasis and rule out other conditions
Joint evaluation – to screen for psoriatic arthritis

Early and accurate diagnosis helps determine the most effective treatment path.

Treatment Options for Psoriasis
While there is no cure for psoriasis, treatment can ease symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve skin health. We provide and coordinate:

Topical Treatments

Corticosteroid creams and ointments
Vitamin D analogs (calcipotriol)
Coal tar and salicylic acid preparations

Phototherapy
Controlled exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can slow skin cell growth and reduce inflammation.
Systemic Medications
For moderate to severe cases, oral or injectable treatments may be prescribed:

Methotrexate, cyclosporine, acitretin
Biologic therapies targeting specific immune pathways

Lifestyle and Nutritional Support
Our care team provides guidance on:

Maintaining a healthy weight
Reducing alcohol and smoking
Stress management techniques
Anti-inflammatory diets to support immune health

5. Advanced Care Planning and Referrals
We coordinate referrals to dermatologists and rheumatologists for specialized management, particularly for patients with psoriatic arthritis.
