Get Your Life Back with Medically Approved Psoriasis Treatment
Our dermatology team has diagnosed and treated mild to severe psoriasis for hundreds of patients.
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition that looks like a rash with red patches and flaking skin. Psoriasis affects nearly 8 million Americans. It can develop at any age, on any area of the body – though it’s most commonly found on the hands, elbows, knees, and scalp.
Even though this non-contagious autoimmune disease has been studied for decades, the exact cause is not known. However, we do know that things like stress, sunburns, medications, allergies, diet, and environmental factors can trigger a psoriasis flare up.
How Do I Know If It's Psoriasis?
Psoriasis often gets confused with eczema, hives, and dry skin. Here’s how to spot the differences.

- Silvery-white scales and sometimes raised edges

- Treatment is patient-specific and ongoing

“My psoriasis is on my mind all of the time…I can’t escape the feeling that people are always looking at me and making fun of me.”
