Psoriasis

Psoriasis can affect the skin, nails and joints. There are multiple subtypes of which plaque psoriasis is the most common. Plaques are red and silvery-white, scaly lesions which occur most commonly on the elbows, knees and scalp. Plaques are often itchy or painful and can cause embarrassment and social isolation.

What are my psoriasis treatment options?

Because psoriasis tends to be a lifelong disease, it’s important to establish care with a board-certified dermatologist to help control symptoms over the course of time. A number of treatment options exist including topical, oral, and injectable medications as well as light-based therapy.
