Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release in the provided link. The interactive video showcases La La offering a personal and professional perspective on how plaque psoriasis impacts her life and the importance of advocating for effective treatment options. La La shares her experience with managing plaque psoriasis and the importance of open communication with healthcare providers to find suitable treatments.
Plaque psoriasis is often misunderstood as a skin condition but is actually an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation. Research indicates a discrepancy between patient perception of the severity of their condition and the assessment by healthcare providers. While topical treatments like creams and ointments provide relief, they only address symptoms and not the underlying inflammation.
Board-certified dermatologist Meagen McCusker emphasizes the uniqueness of each patient’s experience with plaque psoriasis and the availability of various treatment options tailored to individual needs. She encourages patients to communicate effectively with their doctors to find treatment options that address their specific symptoms and lifestyle.
