Chronic Conditions Need Ongoing Care, Not a One-Time Fix
Eczema, psoriasis and vitiligo are chronic, often relapsing conditions — each with a different underlying cause, but all requiring an accurate diagnosis and a long-term management plan rather than a single treatment. Dr. Geetali Kharghoria, Senior Consultant Dermatologist at Max Hospital Delhi, specialises in clinical dermatology for exactly these conditions, including biologic therapy for cases that haven't responded to standard treatment.
Understanding Your Condition
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Chronic dry, itchy, inflamed skin, often linked to allergies or a family history of asthma and hay fever.
- Topical steroids and calcineurin inhibitors
- Barrier-repair moisturising protocols
- Trigger identification (allergens, irritants)
- Systemic therapy for severe cases
Psoriasis
An autoimmune condition causing thick, scaly, red patches, most often on elbows, knees and scalp.
- Topical treatment for mild cases
- Phototherapy for moderate involvement
- Biologic therapy for moderate-to-severe cases
- Joint symptom screening (psoriatic arthritis)
Vitiligo
Loss of skin pigment in patches, caused by the immune system affecting pigment-producing cells.
- Topical immunomodulators
- Phototherapy (NB-UVB)
- Camouflage options for visible areas
- Surgical repigmentation for stable, resistant patches
Every treatment plan starts with confirming the diagnosis and understanding severity — self-treating with over-the-counter steroid creams can mask symptoms without addressing the underlying condition, and in some cases worsen it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can eczema, psoriasis and vitiligo be cured completely?+
These are chronic conditions that are managed rather than permanently cured. With the right treatment plan, most patients achieve long periods of clear or significantly improved skin, though flare-ups can recur and ongoing management is usually needed.
Do I need a biologic medication for psoriasis?+
Not necessarily. Biologics are generally reserved for moderate to severe psoriasis that hasn't responded to topical treatment or phototherapy. Your dermatologist will start with the least invasive effective option and escalate only if needed.
Is vitiligo treatment effective on Indian skin tones?+
Yes. Treatments including phototherapy, topical immunomodulators and in some cases surgical repigmentation can be effective on Indian skin, though results vary by the extent and stability of vitiligo and require a dermatologist's assessment.
Is eczema linked to allergies?+
Often, yes — eczema is frequently associated with a personal or family history of allergies, asthma or hay fever. Identifying specific triggers is part of a thorough treatment plan alongside topical and barrier-repair therapy.
