Plaque Psoriasis

Plaque psoriasis is a disease that affects the skin and joints, and often appears as red, itchy skin. Psoriasis, although appearing as a skin condition, is really a disease of resulting from an overactive immune system. It affects about 7.5 million Americans and is the most prevalent form of psoriasis. Many patients report that psoriasis affects their quality of life and emotional well-being. About 10-30% of patients with psoriasis also have chronic inflammation of the joints and connective tissue.

The treatment for Plaque Psoriasis by medication has some common goals:

• Relieve pain
• Reduce inflammation
• Ward off risk factors for other diseases
• Improve a person’s sense of well-being and ability to function

The last medical approach, especially for patients with severe, rapidly progressing Plaque Psoriasis, includes treatment with more powerful systemic drugs, such as biologics, which suppress the immune system, and therefore, reduce inflammation.
