Psoriasis Psoriasis Treatment Combination therapy is one way to speed along clearing of psoriasis Psoriasis is a disease of the immune system that causes itchy, flaky skin patches that can appear anywhere on the body. In certain cases doctors have learned that combining therapies can speed clearance along. Although many treatments are good on their own, a combination of treatments can boost the time and duration of clearance. Such is the case with the very effective biologics which can induce remission and clearing of psoriasis for up to two years, but may take a few weeks to work. Adding a little light treatment while giving the biologics can produce a quicker response while waiting for the effects of the biologics to be seen.
