Psoriasis is an immune-mediated skin disease causing rapid skin cell buildup, resulting in scaling, inflammation, and discomfort. Modern treatments — including biologics — can achieve clear or nearly clear skin for most patients.

Treatment Options

From Topicals to Biologics

Treatment depends on psoriasis type and severity. Options include topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, retinoids, calcineurin inhibitors, phototherapy (UVB, PUVA), systemic agents (methotrexate, cyclosporine, acitretin), and modern biologics (TNF-alpha inhibitors, IL-17, IL-23 blockers) that can achieve dramatic, sustained clearance.

Beyond the Skin

Psoriatic Arthritis: Know the Signs

Up to 30% of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis — joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. If you experience joint symptoms alongside your skin condition, mention it to your provider. Biologics often treat both conditions simultaneously.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What biologic medications do you prescribe?
We prescribe a range of FDA-approved biologics including TNF-alpha inhibitors (adalimumab, etanercept), IL-17 inhibitors (secukinumab, ixekizumab), and IL-23 inhibitors (guselkumab, risankizumab).
Is psoriasis contagious?
No. Psoriasis is an immune-mediated condition, not an infection. It cannot be passed from person to person.
Does sun help psoriasis?
Controlled UV exposure can improve psoriasis for many patients. Phototherapy provides a safe, medically supervised version of this benefit.
