Patients with chronic dermatologic conditions including psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) may be prescribed infusions that are administered either at home or our infusion center. These are administered through intravenous or subcutaneous infusions. Some of these conditions include:
Psoriasis
Infusion therapy for psoriasis works by blocking T-cells and other proteins in the immune system that cause psoriasis to develop. Traditional medications affect the entire immune system, whereas infusion therapies better target the compromised part of the immune system.
Hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a skin condition causing small lumps to form under the skin. Infusion therapy can help to improve the symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa, in many cases helping to improve the appearance of skin lesions.
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE)
Discoid lupus erythematosus is a skin condition causing sores with inflammation and sometimes scarring on the face, ears, scalp and other parts of the body. Infusion therapy can help to relive some symptoms of DLE for patients who may not respond well to medications.
