Psoriasis

Psoriasis is more than a skin condition, it's an autoimmune disease that can affect your joints, your energy, and how comfortable you feel in your own skin. We create a long-term treatment plan built around your specific pattern of flares, your lifestyle, and your overall health, not just the plaques you can see.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to build up rapidly, forming thick, scaly, often itchy or sore plaques. This inflammation can be seen anywhere including on the elbows, knees, scalp, groin area, and lower back, but the untreated inflammation in the rest of your body may be harder to detect.
Psoriasis is largely genetic, and flares can be triggered by stress, infections, certain medications, inflammation, diet, skin injury, or weather changes.
Treatment ranges from topical medications which can treat the skin, to injected biologics and oral peptides that balance the immune pathways driving psoriasis. Since up to 7 out of 10 people with skin symptoms also have inflammation affecting other parts of their body, it’s important to consider interventions that treat the problem rather than masking it.
See us if plaques are new, spreading, painful, or affecting your daily life. If you notice joint pain or swelling (a sign of psoriatic arthritis), or if current treatment has stopped working we would also love to help. Newer biologic options have completely changed the game of what’s possible, even if you've struggled for years.
