Remission For Psoriasis And Eczema: Hype or the Future?

Derm-it Trotter! Don"t Swear About Skincare. ·

2026/04/07

Remission in psoriasis and eczema is no longer just theoretical—it’s becoming a real treatment goal. In this episode, Dr. Joe Tung explains why chronic inflammatory skin diseases act more like high blood pressure than a one-time rash, and why clear skin doesn’t always mean the disease is gone—especially when considering stopping biologics or systemic therapy. We break down what remission actually means, why flares return (even after skin looks clear), and how immune “memory” drives recurring ...

A rash after you eat something feels simple, but skin allergy rarely is.

We sit down with Dr. Emily Murphy, dermatologist and director of a vulvar health program, to separate myths from facts and share a simple, science-based routine that actually works. We break down anatomy (vulva vs. vagina), why different areas get different conditions, and how to simplify daily care: gentle cleanser only on hair-bearing skin, wash with hands, skip douching and wipes, and ...

The Truth Behind Boxed Warnings

2026/01/20

Boxed warnings can feel like a stop sign—but they don’t always reflect your personal risk. Dr. Nicholas Brownstone breaks down what these labels really mean, why they’re often added after approval, and how “association” (not proven causation) can still drive scary wording. We also unpack class-wide warnings (like TB language on biologics and U.S. JAK inhibitor risks borrowed from older RA populations), why derm data can look very different, and how we counsel patients: put the warning in cont...

2025/12/16

What if the most inflammatory driver of psoriasis isn’t on the skin at all, but deep in visceral fat? We sit down with Dr. James Song to unpack how adipose tissue acts like a hormone-secreting organ, releasing cytokines that can fuel psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. From the brain’s weight “set point” to genetics linking obesity and psoriasis risk, we reframe weight as biology—not a moral failing—and explain why that matters for treatment. We break down fat types, the cytokine cascade conne...
