Plaque psoriasis is a chronic, auto-immune disease that causes raised, red, scaly patches on the skin. These patches can be itchy and sometimes painful. While there is no cure, there are ways for patients to manage symptoms. Dermatologists understand that psoriasis can affect the quality of life. So, it is important to have an open conversation with your dermatologist so that we can tailor the therapy to your needs. Treatment options are topical therapies, biologics, ultraviolet light therapy available, finally, oral or systemic, treatments. Your doctor plays a vital role in helping you manage and treat the disease. We sat down with a dermatologist to learn more and hear one patient's story about her journey with psoriasis.
