Take Control of Your Care
Your dermatologist brings experience in treating skin diseases, including plaque psoriasis. You’re the expert on you and how plaque psoriasis affects your life. Your dermatologist depends on you to be a partner in creating a treatment plan that’s right for you.
So keeping track of your progress and having open discussions with your doctor is an important first step.
