New Answers for Psoriasis

Besides pain, discomfort and embarrassment, psoriasis researchers are now linking the skin disease to heart disease, stroke and other serious conditions. But there’s new help and hope. Read on for the latest breakthroughs and treatments...
Over the years, my red, flaking skin has shed all over bedsheets, treadmills and laptops. It can be itchy, unsightly and, frankly, embarrassing.
I have psoriasis – a skin disease that causes scaly, sometimes bloody patches to appear anywhere on the body.
If that’s all women with this condition had to deal with, life would be difficult enough.
But new research has found that in addition to skin lesions, psoriasis patients face serious health risks, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
“Until recently, doctors thought psoriasis was strictly a skin disease,” says dermatologist Abby Van Voorhees, M.D., director of the psoriasis clinic at University of Pennsylvania’s hospital in Philadelphia. “But now we understand that it’s actually part of a bigger spectrum of [related] diseases.”
But there’s good news too: A class of drugs called “biologics” can offer relief – and sometimes complete remission – for even the toughest cases. And because they target the offending cells themselves, they don’t cause the same side effects as older medications.
