Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin condition that causes thickened, red, scaly patches, most commonly on the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back. It can also affect the nails and joints, and it affects people differently. Dr Burcu Kim provides specialist psoriasis care.
Because psoriasis is driven by the immune system, it is not contagious. Flares can be triggered by stress, infections, some medications and skin injury. Beyond the visible symptoms, psoriasis can affect comfort and confidence.
Dr Kim has a particular interest in psoriasis, having supervised a dedicated clinic for psoriasis patients at Prince of Wales Hospital. She offers a full range of treatments, from topical therapies to advanced systemic and biologic treatments for moderate to severe disease.
A tailored treatment plan can help control psoriasis, reduce flares and improve your skin and quality of life. Book a psoriasis consultation in Sydney CBD or North Sydney.
Dr Burcu Kim sees psoriasis patients at her main rooms in BMA House, Suite 904, Level 9, 135-137 Macquarie Street, Sydney CBD - in the Macquarie Street medical precinct - and by telehealth video consultation across Australia. For patients on biologic agents, many ongoing reviews can be done conveniently by telehealth. Rebates apply with a valid Medicare referral from your GP.
Psoriasis is a long-term condition that can't be cured, but it can usually be well managed so that symptoms improve and flares become less frequent.
Common triggers include stress, skin injury, some infections, and certain medications. A dermatologist can help you identify and manage your individual triggers.
Yes — psoriasis can often be reviewed by telehealth video consultation Australia-wide, with a valid Medicare referral, or in person in Sydney CBD.
