Speciality: Dermatology

Description:

A warm welcome to all the medical professionals in this interesting session on Managing Psoriatic Diseases: A Multi-disciplinary overview
Managing psoriatic diseases, including psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, requires a multidisciplinary approach due to the complex and multifaceted nature of these conditions. The involvement of various medical specialties—such as dermatology, rheumatology, and sometimes gastroenterology and cardiology—is crucial to addressing the diverse symptoms and potential comorbidities associated with psoriatic diseases. Dermatologists focus on managing skin symptoms, using treatments like topical therapies, phototherapy, and systemic medications, including biologics that target specific immune pathways.
Rheumatologists play a key role in managing psoriatic arthritis, a condition that can lead to joint pain, stiffness, and irreversible damage if left untreated. They often prescribe DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs) or biologics to control joint inflammation and prevent progression. Coordination between dermatologists and rheumatologists ensures that both skin and joint symptoms are addressed simultaneously, providing comprehensive care that improves patient outcomes.
