Dr. Eugene Conte • June 7, 2018
I’ve spent a great deal of my years of practice studying and treating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I have posted a few blogs on here before about different psoriasis topics, and so for the sake of brevity I have listed some quick facts regarding psoriatic arthritis for those who are interested. I have also included links to previous Pine Belt Dermatology blogs on psoriasis below, as the content still remains very relevant.
