Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the skin, causing patches of red, scaly, and itchy skin. While there is no cure for psoriasis, it can be managed effectively with a combination of topical and oral medications, including biologicals.

Dr. Shafa uses a variety of treatments to manage psoriasis. Some of the topical medications she may prescribe include corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, retinoids, and coal tar. These medications work by reducing inflammation, slowing down the growth of skin cells, and moisturizing the skin.

In addition to topical medications, Dr. Shafa may also prescribe oral medications such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, or acitretin. These medications work by suppressing the immune system and slowing down the growth of skin cells.

For more severe cases of psoriasis, Dr. Shafa may recommend biologicals, which are medications that target specific components of the immune system that contribute to psoriasis. Biologicals include drugs such as etanercept, adalimumab, and infliximab.

Dr. Shafa will work with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that takes into account the severity of their psoriasis, their medical history, and their lifestyle.
