I have oily, acne-prone skin. I started using vitamin C and the very next day a lot of pus-filled, red, and painful pimples emerged on my face. I am really confused about whether it is due to purging or the product is not suiting me. What to do?

Please help.

Is Skyrizi effective for psoriasis?

Hi doctor,

As a patient diagnosed with psoriasis and currently undergoing treatment with Skyrizi, I am immensely grateful for the advancements in medical science that have provided us with such therapeutic options. However, I would greatly appreciate your advice in addressing a few queries I have concerning the medication's efficacy and the probable duration of treatment. Could you elaborate on the expected efficacy of Skyrizi in managing psoriasis symptoms over the course of treatment? Are there specific indicators that I should look out for its effectiveness, such as a reduction in plaque severity, itching, or improved skin appearance? And what is the typical treatment duration for Skyrizi for patients with psoriasis? Also, should I expect any fluctuations in effectiveness or changes in treatment response over time while on Skyrizi?
