Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis in Patients With Skin of Color

By Medical Dermatology

psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in skin of color

Psoriasis doesn’t look the same on every skin tone—and recognizing that matters. Dr. Mona Shahriari, associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine, encourages clinicians to broaden their psoriasis color palette to improve diagnosis and care of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in skin of color.

In a video interview with Next Steps in Derm, Dr. Shahriari shares:

  • Key clues for diagnosing psoriasis in skin of color
  • The clinical domains of psoriatic arthritis and how early recognition can reduce diagnostic and treatment delays
  • Research insights on scalp psoriasis
  • How pigmentary sequelae impact quality of life

This is a must-watch for clinicians committed to more equitable care of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in skin of color.

Be on the lookout for more video interviews with Skin of Color Update faculty that will be posted to the blog in the coming months.
