    Psoriasis Adherence Uncovered and How Behavior Shapes Treatment Success
    In this episode, we look beyond treatment selection and dig into the real reason so many psoriasis therapies fall short: patients stop using them far sooner than clinicians expect. Dr. Raj Bhardwaj speaks with dermatology expert Dr. Steve Feldman, whose decades of research reveal that adherence isn’t about patient stubbornness—it’s about behavior, accountability, and how we design care. They unpack practical, evidence-backed strategies that help patients stay on treatment and achieve lasting control.

    Rethinking Psoriasis as a Whole-Body Disease
    In this episode, we step back from the exam room and look at plaque psoriasis as a whole-body condition—not just a skin disorder.

Drs. Bhardwaj and Ogdie explain why recognizing psoriatic disease early and treating it holistically can change a patient’s entire health trajectory.

At follow up, everything is as expected – until a nurse reviews his chart and sees the child has hemophilia. We’re no longer talking about a minor joint bleed, we’re talking about a joint bleed, that, if left untreated, could lead to permanent damage.
