What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition and is characterized by pink scaly plaques on the skin. Though it typically occurs on the scalp, elbows, and knees, it can occur anywhere on the skin and may be associated with inflammation of the joints and nails. It is critical to receive expert evaluation for this process, and Dr. Rieder has published and spoken at conferences extensively on this subject.

What Treatments Are Available?

There are many excellent treatments available for psoriasis, ranging from topical creams to ultraviolet light therapy to extremely safe and effective biologic injection medications. For most motivated people, psoriasis is no longer a condition that must have a negative impact on their quality of life or the appearance of their skin.
