- ArthritisDespite the fact that psoriasis is one of the oldest-recorded skin conditions, science is still figuring out the exact mechanisms involved in the risk factors for and development of the disease. We know that psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are the result of a misregulated immune system causing changes in the skin and joints. Some families carry genes that increase the risk for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. While there is still no cure for psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, there are extremely effective treatments that limit disability and greatly improve patients’ quality of life.
- CryotherapyCryotherapy, or “cryosurgery,” is a simple, non-invasive procedure in which liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and destroy growths on the surface of the skin. This is an effective treatment for precancerous skin lesions ( actinic keratoses ), as well as other skin conditions such as warts, skin tags and moles.

B-cell lymphoma can be treated with surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, depending upon the extent of disease.
- Radiation TherapyThere is no cure for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, but there are several treatment options to limit the spread of the disease within the body and improve a person’s quality of life. Treatments can range from steroids and other oral medications to phototherapy, photopheresis and radiation therapy, depending on the severity of the disease.
