Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

Ages 18 and up.  Qualifying patients will have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). 

Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that's common in young children, but can occur at any age. It may cause itchiness, dry skin, rashes, scaly patches, thickening of the skin, blisters, and skin infections. This condition can weaken your skin’s barrier function, which helps your skin retain moisture and protects your body from outside elements. While there is no cure for eczema, dermatologists specialize in managing its symptoms through various treatments.

Psoriasis

Ages 18 - 75. Qualifying patients will have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. 

Plaque psoriasis is the most common type and is characterized by dry, red and raised lesions (called plaques) that are covered with silvery white buildup of dead skin cells. The itchy and sometimes painful plaques often form on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back, though they can appear anywhere on the body. When something causes psoriasis to flare-up, skin cells grow abnormally fast ­– in just days instead of weeks. The result is a buildup of cells and thick patches of red skin with silvery scales that can flake off like dandruff.
