Are you tired of the discomfort and insecurity caused by psoriasis? Welcome to the Skin and Cancer Institute, where we understand the challenges of living with this immune-mediated skin disorder. Our specialized psoriasis treatment offers you a path to healthier, happier skin.
Psoriasis, an immune-mediated skin disorder, stems from inflammation within the body. The telltale symptoms include raised, scaly patches of skin that often exhibit a silvery-white hue. These patches are most commonly found on areas such as elbows, knees, hands, feet, the scalp, and even the genital region. Astonishingly, over seven million individuals across the United States grapple with psoriasis.
The exact origins of psoriasis continue to baffle researchers, yet it’s widely acknowledged that both genetics and environmental factors play pivotal roles in triggering its symptoms. Importantly, it’s essential to know that psoriasis is not contagious. Rather, it’s the result of an immune system gone awry. Flare-ups can be ignited by a range of environmental elements such as dry weather, skin abrasions, sunburns, smoking (including secondhand smoke), alcohol consumption, and various infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal).
Biologics offer a promising approach in managing psoriasis by targeting specific aspects of the immune system. Unlike traditional systemic drugs that impact the entire immune system, biologics focus on specific immune cells and proteins responsible for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). These include T-cells and proteins such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 17-A, or interleukins 12 and 23. Biologics like Enbrel, Humira, and Remicade, also considered disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), aim to slow or halt the processes in the body that cause joint damage associated with PsA.
