Psoriasis
Management.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that requires sophisticated immune modulation, not just topical management. At Modern Dermatology, we offer the full spectrum of treatment from topicals to biologics.
Beyond the Skin.
Psoriasis is not just a skin disease—it is a systemic inflammatory condition associated with psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. Our board-certified dermatologists manage psoriasis as a whole-body condition, monitoring for comorbidities while achieving clear or near-clear skin.
Plaque Psoriasis
The most common form. Thick, red, scaly patches on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. Responds well to targeted therapy.
Guttate Psoriasis
Small, droplet-shaped lesions often triggered by streptococcal infection. Common in children and young adults.
Inverse Psoriasis
Smooth, red patches in skin folds (armpits, groin, under breasts). Often misdiagnosed as fungal infection.

Frequently Asked.
Is psoriasis curable?
Psoriasis is a chronic condition, but with modern therapies it can be effectively controlled. Many patients achieve clear or near-clear skin with biologic treatment.
What are biologic medications?
Biologics are targeted injectable medications that block specific immune pathways driving psoriasis. They offer the highest clearance rates with favorable safety profiles.
Can psoriasis affect my joints?
Yes. Up to 30% of psoriasis patients develop psoriatic arthritis. Early treatment can prevent joint damage.
Is psoriasis contagious?
No. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition. It cannot be spread through touch or contact.
