Effective treatments for eczema, psoriasis, and seborrhea, include prescription topicals like steroids, tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, calcipotriene, and antifungals. Oral treatments offer relief for psoriasis sufferers. Natural topical remedies like coconut oil and B12 cream offer anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial benefits. Nutritional supplements and dietary changes, including L-histidine, hemp seed oil, increased fiber intake, and specific probiotic strains, improve the skin barrier and help patients with eczema.
Oral quercetin can alleviate itch, while topical indigo, vitamin D, and vitamin A can modulate psoriasis. Prescription antifungal products offer benefits for seborrheic dermatitis along with neem and tea tree oil. Oral neem and curcumin have proven effective for seborrhea and psoriasis.
Skinsage doctors are highly experienced in the use of newer systemic agents to treat conditions such as eczema and psoriasis in patients with moderate to severe cases or resistant disease. Apremilast (Otezla) and Deucravacitinib (Sotyktu) are two newer oral agents that are very effective in the treatment of psoriasis with low side effect profiles and high safety data. An every other week injectable Dupilumab (Dupixent) is also a safe and effective option for the treatment of eczema.
Light treatment is a longstanding treatment option for both eczema and psoriasis. We work closely with light device companies who can help our patients obtain at home devices to treat themselves conveniently and consistently.
A Skinsage consultation is an ideal way to manage chronic and persistent skin conditions by having an experienced doctor by your side every step of the way.
