How to maintain modelling career with psoriasis?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 34 and my psoriasis has turned my modeling career upside down. I have been dealing with it for 3 years, but makeup artists refuse to work with me now because my face and neck are covered in thick scales. Photoshoots are impossible because the hot lights make my skin flare up and bleed. My agent dropped me off last week after I could not finish a shoot because of joint pain. My knees and ankles feel like they are being stabbed. I tried Cyclosporine, but my kidney numbers went weird (creatinine 1.9). I am using expensive creams but they just slide off because my skin weeps this yellow fluid. I got these weird dents in all my fingernails and my hair is falling out in clumps. My last biologic (Secukinumab) worked great but insurance would not cover it anymore. I need help saving my career.
Please help.
Thank you.
