Psoriasis Doctors expands its dermatologist-authored health education resources to help people better manage their psoriasis in honor of Psoriasis Awareness Month.

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) August 4, 2009

The Psoriasis Doctors (http://www.psoriasis-doctors.com) Website has published new, robust psoriasis resources from dermatologists in honor of Psoriasis Awareness Month. Psoriasis Doctors covers a wide range of psoriasis and skin care topics, including plaque psoriasis, corticosteroids, Vectical, PUVA, and new biologics, such as Remicade and Humira.

The From Your Doctor service enables leading dermatologists to easily create their own customizable education resource for their patients, including a Patient Education Library with patient handouts and a Patient Newsletter that delivers skin care updates via email. Dermatologists who have authored particularly useful content regarding psoriasis management are highlighted on the Psoriasis Doctors Website.

For instance, Eliot Mostow, M.D., a dermatologist in Akron Ohio, published information about the use of topical medications for the treatment of psoriasis. Gerald Goldberg, M.D., a dermatologist with Pima Dermatology, published information about the use of laser therapy for the treament of psoriatic plaques. Both handouts appear on Psoriasis Doctors for patients seeking psoriasis care information from skin care experts.
