Psoriasis and Eczema Treatment in Coimbatore
Cement, dyes, detergents and machine oil give Coimbatore more occupational hand eczema than most cities, and the dry Kongu air keeps psoriasis plaques flaking through the year. Both conditions are chronic and both are controllable with the right plan. At Dr. Thaj Clinic on 100 Feet Road a dermatologist confirms the diagnosis, finds the triggers and offers narrowband UVB phototherapy when creams are not enough.

Finding the Trigger, Then Building Long-Term Control
Eczema on the hands is the commonest skin complaint among Coimbatore’s industrial and textile workers: cracked, itchy, weeping skin that heals on leave and returns on the first shift back. Psoriasis shows as thick, scaly plaques on the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back, sometimes with pitted nails or stiff joints. Each is often mistaken for fungal infection and treated with steroid-antifungal creams, which blur the picture and make the real diagnosis harder.
The 100 Feet Road consultation sorts this out. Dr. Priyadharshini A and the team confirm the condition, look at the nails, scalp and joints, and ask about work exposures, hand washing, stress, infections and medicines. Patch testing is arranged where a contact allergy is suspected. The first steps are barrier repair with the right moisturiser for dry air, protection at work, and prescription topicals matched to the body site.
When psoriasis or eczema is widespread or will not settle, the clinic offers narrowband UVB phototherapy, a measured dose of ultraviolet light two to three times a week in the clinic that calms the immune activity in the skin, plus targeted phototherapy for individual plaques. Severe disease is treated with supervised oral medicines and blood monitoring, and referred onward for advanced therapy where that is the right step.
The goal is control that holds through work and weather. Patients leave with a written routine, a plan for flares, and a clear statement of what the condition is and is not, because much of the harm in psoriasis and eczema comes from years of guesswork before a diagnosis.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — Psoriasis & Eczema Treatment in Coimbatore
Is my hand rash eczema or fungus?
They can look alike, and the wrong cream worsens either. The dermatologist examines the pattern, scrapes for fungus if needed and asks about exposures at work; eczema is treated by repairing the barrier and removing the trigger, fungus with an antifungal course.
Can I keep working with hand eczema?
Usually yes, with gloves chosen for the task, a repair routine after each shift and prescription treatment for flares. The clinic writes the routine around your actual work.
What does treatment cost in Coimbatore?
It depends on the extent of the condition and whether phototherapy is needed. The plan and the cost are set out at the first consultation.
How long does phototherapy take to work?
Most patients see plaques thinning after three to four weeks of two to three sessions a week, with clearance over two to three months; maintenance sessions keep the result.
Does psoriasis affect joints?
It can. Morning stiffness, swollen fingers or heel pain alongside psoriasis are checked at every visit and referred for joint care early, because early treatment protects the joints.
