VIDEO: Treating women for psoriasis before and after delivery


 

At the SDEF Hawaii Dermatology Seminar, Dr. Alan Menter of Baylor University discussed the particular challenges women with psoriasis face in the peripartum period. Many patients – and many ob.gyns.– are not well informed about postpartum psoriasis flare or what to do if genital psoriasis is present at delivery. The SDEF Hawaii Dermatology Seminar is presented by the Skin Disease Education Foundation/Global Academy for Medical Education and is owned by the same parent company as this news organization.
