Are you experiencing red, scaly patches, constant itching, or skin irritationthat persists despite treatment? You could be living with psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that affects millions globally, including many in Karachi’s humid and polluted climate. At The Skin Clinic by Dr. Khilji Faisal Arif, we offer specialized diagnosis and advanced treatments to help you regain control over your skin, your comfort, and your confidence.
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease characterized by skin cells multiplying faster than usual, resulting in thick, red patches covered with silvery-white scales. It’s not contagious, but it’s often genetically inherited or triggered by environmental factors.
The most common type—plaque psoriasis—typically appears on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back, but it can affect any part of the body. Psoriasis may also lead to emotional stress, self-esteem issues, and even joint problems like psoriatic arthritis if left untreated.
What Causes Psoriasis?
Although the exact cause is not fully known, psoriasis is believed to be the result of a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors. Your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, speeding up the skin regeneration cycle.
Common psoriasis triggers include:
- Stress or emotional trauma
- Skin injuries or infections
- Certain medications
- Smoking and alcohol
- Cold, dry weather
- Family history of psoriasis
Our clinic in Zamzama, DHA Karachi, offers comprehensive psoriasis evaluations, including a review of clinical history and lifestyle assessments, to identify potential triggers and tailor your care plan.

How is Psoriasis Diagnosed?
At Dr. Khilji Faisal Arif’s Skin Clinic, diagnosing psoriasis involves a thorough skin examination, review of symptoms, and, if necessary, a skin biopsy or laboratory tests to rule out other conditions, such as eczema or fungal infections.
Our Karachi-based dermatologist, Dr. Khilji, ensures accurate diagnosis and helps you understand the type of psoriasis you have, whether it’s:
- Plaque psoriasis
- Guttate psoriasis
- Inverse psoriasis
- Pustular psoriasis
- Erythrodermic psoriasis
Can Psoriasis Lead to Other Health Problems?
Yes. Approximately 30% of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis, characterized by joint pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joints. If left untreated, it can lead to joint damage and mobility issues. That’s why early
diagnosis and dermatological care are vital.
Dr. Khilji Faisal Arif offers joint screening support and partners with rheumatologists, when necessary, to manage your condition holistically.
Is psoriasis contagious?
No, psoriasis is not contagious. It’s a chronic autoimmune condition, not an infection.
Can psoriasis go away permanently?
There is currently no cure, but long-term management and treatment can significantly reduce symptoms and the frequency of flare-ups.
What's the best psoriasis treatment in Karachi?
The Skin Clinic by Dr. Khilji Faisal Arif provides personalized, non-invasive care
for psoriasis, utilizing advanced techniques and patient-specific evaluations.
Can stress make psoriasis worse?
Yes, stress is a known trigger for psoriasis flare-ups. Stress management is often included in treatment plans.
