A 16-year-old female and her father present to your clinic for the first time for evaluation of psoriasis. She reports that she has had symptoms of psoriasis since she was 12 years old and currently has lesions affecting the scalp, elbows, knees, and the back of her hands. She also reports feeling stiffness and pain in her hands and wrists in the mornings that go away after an hour or so. She is very embarrassed because of the appearance of her skin and always wears long sleeves and pants or long skirts to hide her psoriasis. She is currently using topical steroids inconsistently and has used calcipotriene in the past. She and her father would like to consider any treatments that would help her skin heal as quickly as possible. When you talk to her alone, she admits that she has been bullied in the past because of her skin and has felt depressed because of this. She does not drink any alcohol but does regularly use marijuana, which she says help her feel less anxious about the appearance of her skin. On exam, she has erythematous scaly plaques on the scalp, back, abdomen, elbows, forearms, dorsal hands, knees, and lower legs, with a TBSA of ~40%. She also has swelling and tenderness to palpation of the bilateral wrists and left 3rd and 4th digits. What is a good treatment plan for her?

About us
LearnSkin was developed by dermatologists and integrative medicine practitioners who wanted to support other professionals in dermatology, the number one driver of doctor's visits. Our goal is to share the latest in scientific research and treatment options in dermatology for both Western and Eastern medicine to meet the growing demand for responsible, high quality, evidence-based education that bridges conventional and alternative medical approaches. LearnSkin is supported by the world's largest integrative dermatology team. In 2021, LearnSkin launched the Integrative Esthetician Certificate Program, an intensive online certificate program for estheticians looking to expand their knowledge of integrative esthetics practices and the skin from the dermatological perspective. In 2022, LearnSkin launched the first Integrative Esthetics Track, a one-day in-person event to bring estheticians and medical professionals together to build their network and expand their skills. Join us in 2024 for the third annual Integrative Esthetics Track in Arlington, TX.
