Your guide to help you when speaking to your doctor
Psoriasis may have already affected aspects of your life but remember that you and your doctor are partners in managing your psoriasis. There is plenty of support available to help you maintain a good quality of life. Perhaps you have felt rushed or left the doctor’s office realising you haven’t discussed something that is important to you. Next time you visit your doctor, share your story and have an honest conversation about how psoriasis affects your daily life.
Finding the right words to describe your symptoms can be difficult; if you can describe your real-life experiences this can help your doctor understand exactly what you are facing, especially when the doctor’s time is limited. This dictionary will prepare you for conversations with your doctor about the care you need to live the life you wish for and deserve.
Sometimes it seems like doctors speak a different language. They don’t mean to. Medical terms are just complicated. There are lots of abbreviations and long, seemingly unpronounceable words.
So we thought we’d help out.
This guide helps you get to grips with all the terminology you need before your appointment. It can help you to ask your doctor for clear skin and also to discuss all of the options that could help you to achieve this.
If you have psoriasis, we’ve got good news for you. Thanks to advances in dermatology, clear skin is now possible. So book an appointment with your dermatologist and ask for clear skin. And reclaim what psoriasis has taken away from you. Whatever that is.
