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.
