Pso Pscience Issue 8 is here!

This lively new edition explores the surprising role of fungal infections in psoriasis. Almost 1 in 6 patients in a recent study carried a hidden infection, often making their skin worse and harder to treat. The advice from experts? Doctors may need to test for fungus more often and consider antifungal treatment for stubborn cases.

There’s exciting news for anyone tired of steroid creams: researchers have found a tripeptide-based emollient that works just as well as strong steroids, but without those worrying side effects like skin thinning and bruising. This could mean safer long-term options for keeping skin healthy.

The issue also dives into the “leaky gut” link, showing that gut health and skin are often connected for people with psoriasis—helping explain digestive symptoms and the risk of other conditions like Crohn’s.

On the topic of weight loss, Pso Pscience reviews new GLP-1 agonist medicines and whether they could help control psoriasis, especially in those dealing with both obesity and diabetes. The verdict? Promising, but bigger studies are needed and they’re not a replacement for biologic therapies just yet.

Packed with research and real-world advice, Pso Pscience Issue 8 offers useful tips and fresh hope for anyone managing psoriatic disease. Read in our Knowledge Bank.
