Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the skin in 125 million people worldwide1,2. About 90% of patients are affected by plaque psoriasis, the most common clinical form of psoriasis2. Plaques may appear anywhere on the body, but often appear on the scalp, knees, elbows, chest and lower back2.
Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itch and eczematous lesions.4 Atopic dermatitis is the result of skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation, leading to chronic inflammation5.
