Causes for Loss of Effectiveness of Psoriasis Agents: Meeting Highlights from a National Dermatology Conference

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Psoriasis is an inflammatory, autoimmune disorder with predominately joint and skin symptoms characterized by scaling and erythematous plaques that may be painful or severely pruritic, and may cause significant quality of life issues. The systemic effects and comorbidities are not fully recognized or managed.

Psoriasis is significantly undertreated, and patients are not satisfied with their treatment. A significant number of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis are either untreated or treated with topical treatments alone.

In this CME Outfitters Snack and Meeting Highlights series, expert faculty translate insights and recommendations from a national dermatology and psoriasis conference in Las Vegas, NV about current and emerging psoriasis treatment, monitoring of patients on biologics, management of comorbidities, and quality of life.
