Advanced Psoriasis Treatment in Dhaka - Dr. A. K. M. Rezaul Haque

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disease that causes red, scaly, itchy, and sometimes painful plaques on the skin. As a dermatologist and venereologist in Dhaka, I regularly diagnose and treat patients with psoriasis of all severities—from mild localized plaques to extensive, resistant disease.

Although psoriasis is a long-term condition, it can be effectively controlled with proper medical care, regular follow-up, and a personalized treatment plan. My goal is always to reduce flare-ups, relieve symptoms, and help my patients live confidently and comfortably.

Types of Psoriasis I Treat

In my clinical practice, I treat all major types of psoriasis, including:

  • Hormonal imbalance (especially during puberty, PCOS, pregnancy)
  • Plaque Psoriasis – The most common type, characterized by thick, silvery scales
  • Scalp Psoriasis – Involving itching and flaking of the scalp
  • Guttate Psoriasis – Small drop-like lesions, often after infections
  • Palmoplantar Psoriasis – Affecting palms and soles
  • Nail Psoriasis – Causing nail pitting and thickening
  • Erythrodermic and Pustular Psoriasis – Severe forms requiring urgent care

Accurate diagnosis is essential, as treatment varies depending on the type and severity.

My Approach to Psoriasis Treatment

As a dermatologist and venereologist in Dhaka, I believe that effective psoriasis treatment requires a personalized, comprehensive approach. Every patient is unique, and I tailor treatment plans based on the type, severity, and location of psoriasis, as well as your lifestyle, medical history, and previous treatments.

Step 1: Accurate Diagnosis

The first step is a detailed examination to determine the type of psoriasis—whether it’s plaque, scalp, guttate, nail, or a severe form like pustular or erythrodermic psoriasis. I may also review your family history, check for psoriatic arthritis, and assess triggers that could worsen your condition.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on the diagnosis, I create a stepwise treatment plan that may include: Topical therapies, Phototherapy and Systemic medications or biologics. I combine these therapies thoughtfully, always balancing effectiveness, safety, and long-term skin health.

Lifestyle and Trigger Management

I guide my patients on lifestyle adjustments that support treatment outcomes, such as: 1. Identifying and avoiding psoriasis triggers, 2. Maintaining skin hydration, 3. Stress management and healthy habits.

Regular Follow-Up and Monitoring

Psoriasis is a chronic condition that requires ongoing care. I schedule regular follow-ups to monitor progress, adjust treatments as needed, and ensure the best possible results.

My Commitment to Psoriasis Patients

As a dermatologist and venereologist practicing in Dhaka, I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based psoriasis treatment. I understand that psoriasis affects not only the skin but also confidence and quality of life.
