  Clearing skin on the scalp may be as simple as using a special psoriasis shampoo, with moisturizers and ointments to soothe skin. Mild cases may be managed with topical corticosteroids or by taking a vitamin D3 supplement. Drugs may be used to moderate the immune system, and many new injected biologic treatments are available to treat severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

  To remove brown spots on the face, we may recommend topical hydroquinone or retinoids, a series of chemical peels, or IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy.

• Reconstructive Surgery
  What we’ve covered so far has to do with more of a verbal description of this what I like to do is to show you some of what we’ve been talking about. One of the first things we see in any patient we’ve been talking about how follicles are normal and one of the things that we see for a whole bunch of folks is what’s been called the polycombdomal follicle and that’s a mouthful. Basically, it’s where you see two or three blackheads that will all enter into the pore at the same time. You will see it behind the ears or see it over the chest in almost any place you’ve got pores, but that’s a characteristic that you’ll see this in many other skin conditions but it’s a characteristic thing for some patients at least that have hidradenitis. In addition, we talked about how there are these different stages early stage 1 stage 2 stage 3. Early stage one for example and we’re going to show picture as we do this is a single solitary as seen in this particular picture early stage 2 which again, we’re showing it shows the features of multiple spots but with limited tunnels about early 3 it shows a confluent meaning all one big pocket area in which once again press over here and bring over here with this tunnelling that goes under the surface of the skin. In addition to this is what it looks like as the condition I also want to show you some pictures of what we’ve seen and or get people the comfortableness of well what is this thing. Here’s a patient for example that has hidradenitis. It’s a severe pocket of stuff in an underarm area. This is what it looked like before we did the surgery. Without grossing some people out this is what it looks like after the surgery and this just underscores the extensiveness and this and very commonly done right here they will be on the chest it will be in the underarm I’m going right up into the underarm it will then go on to the arm areas of this is what you can see for this kind of individual. The qualities of healing even without plastic or reconstructive surgery though it can be remarkable and it’s comfortable and this is the quality of healing that we would expect it and get hope to speak for everybody and it’s fairly representative of seeing. That that’s excited because of the longer hurts you know the drainage is basically gone. So these are just some examples and again the visual combined with what we’ve been talking up is what we hope to accomplish but just happen again, again a better fell for this. Thank You.
