What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that speeds up the skin’s cell-renewal cycle, causing thick, scaly patches known as plaques. It commonly appears on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, but can occur anywhere on the body. Psoriasis isn’t contagious, but it can cause persistent itching, pain, and social discomfort if left untreated.

Common Symptoms

  • Raised, red, inflamed patches of skin covered in silvery-white scales
  • Itching, burning, or tightness
  • Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
  • Thickened or pitted nails
  • Scalp flaking resembling dandruff

Types of Psoriasis

  • Plaque psoriasis: Most common form, causes dry, scaly patches
  • Guttate psoriasis: Triggered by infections, causing small spots
  • Inverse psoriasis: Affects skin folds (under breasts, groin, armpits)
  • Scalp psoriasis: Flaking and irritation on the scalp and hairline

  • Coal tar and salicylic acid preparations: help soften plaques
  • Combination treatments (e.g. steroid + vitamin D: for moderate cases

Additional Treatments (When Needed)

  • Topical calcineurin inhibitors for sensitive areas like the face or genitals
  • Oral medications (e.g., low-dose methotrexate or ciclosporin) for severe or resistant cases, if suitable for remote prescribing
  • Emollients and moisturisers to prevent cracking and dryness

Your smartscripts GP will always advise if an in-person assessment is necessary, and you won’t be charged when we can’t assist you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the treatment regrow hair or just stop more loss?

Doctor-led plans for male pattern hair loss aim to slow progression and preserve existing hair; many men also see improved density with consistent use. Earlier treatment generally achieves better maintenance.

How long will it take before I see results-and do I need to continue using it?

Expect reduced shedding in 8-12 weeks and visible improvement in 3-6 months, with best results around 6-12 months. Benefits are usually maintained only while you continue the plan your doctor prescribes.

Do I need a prescription in Ireland? How does the online service work?

Some effective options are prescription-only. Complete a secure assessment; an Irish-registered doctor reviews your case and, if clinically appropriate, sends a prescription to your chosen Irish pharmacy, with follow-up.

What side effects or reasons might make me unsuitable?

All medicines can cause side effects. Possible issues include scalp irritation (some topicals) and, for specific oral options, sexual or mood side-effects in a minority. Your doctor will review your medical history, other medications, and family-planning considerations , and discuss the risks and alternatives.
