Psoriasis Cure Now — Podcast Series Resumes with Program on Treating Hand and Foot Psoriasis
Kensington, MD (PRWEB) March 13, 2007
“Psoriasis Cure Now,” a nonprofit patient advocacy group, today released the newest in its series of psoriasis podcasts, this one focused on treating hand and foot psoriasis. Psoriasis on the hands and feet often proves to be highly resistant to treatment, while interfering with a patient’s quality of life. The free podcast is available on the Psoriasis Cure Now website at http://www.psoriasis-cure-now.org/podcasts.php , or through iTunes.
The podcast includes a pair of interviews. Craig Leonardi, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in private practice in St. Louis, Missouri, and a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at St. Louis University, speaks about his recent study of a biologic treatment for hand and foot psoriasis. The podcast also includes an interview with Tim Savage, a sign language interpreter from Virginia who has psoriasis on his hands. He shares his treatment experiences with us.
“Hand and foot psoriasis can be physically painful, emotionally damaging, and can even interfere with one’s ability to work or live normally,” said Michael Paranzino, president of Psoriasis Cure Now. “This makes treating it effectively all the more important. This podcast will help psoriasis patients with hand or foot psoriasis understand that we now have proven treatment options that may work for them. Those suffering with this particularly troubling form of psoriasis should not lose hope, but should instead visit a dermatologist and consider the full range of options available to them. Hand and foot psoriasis is simply too painful to go undertreated.”
Previous Psoriasis Cure Now podcasts have covered topics including strategies for treating children with psoriasis, and the future of psoriasis treatments. They are all available free from the Psoriasis Cure Now website and via iTunes. Psoriasis Cure Now podcasts are made possible by unrestricted educational grants from Amgen and Genentech, and from contributions from psoriasis patients and their loved ones.

Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information.
