Psoriasis

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. 

Guest: Dawn Davis, M.D. 

Psoriasis is a health condition commonly seen in primary care but one which has evolved significantly in both how we understand the disease as well as how it’s managed. At one time, psoriasis was considered primarily a skin disorder; however, we now know it’s part of a systemic inflammatory disease with potential involvement of multiple organ systems. What do we know about the pathophysiology of psoriasis? How does it change our management when we think of it as a systemic disease? What are some of the new treatment options we now have available?  I’ll ask these questions and more of my guest as we discuss “Psoriasis”.  My guest for this podcast is Dr. Dawn Davis, Chair of Clinical and Pediatric Dermatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
