How to coach your child through any tricky social situation.

Pediatric psoriasis is difficult for kids to live with. Most notably because the red, scaly plaques that are the conditions calling card can not only be physically uncomfortable but draw unwanted attention. And when youre a kid, thats the last thing you wantwhich may be why adolescents with psoriasis tend to have increased levels of depression and anxiety, according to research published in Anais Brasileiros De Dermatologia. When attention is brought to an area, [a child] can feel embarrassed or ashamed, which can often lead to feelings of anxiety and isolation, says Johanna Kaplan, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and director of Washington Anxiety Center of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

As a parent its difficult to see your child struggle. But you might not always know what to do or say to help. Start with these expert tips on how to deal with the four most common scenarios your child may encounter because of their psoriasis, so you can coach your child to handle themselves with strength and pride.

As a parent, its common to feel a wide range of emotions, from anger and sadness to guilt and grief, as well as a strong need to protect your child. Know that you may have to manage your Mama or Papa Bear tendencies.

Parents may feel like calling or going to the school to confront a teacher or an administrator, however, the child may not want so much attention drawn to them and so much discussion about their illness, says Elena Mikalsen, Ph.D., chief of pediatric psychology at The Childrens Hospital of San Antonio in San Antonio, TX. Its also important for the child to get at least some choice about how their illness is discussed and to feel mastery over being able to handle these discussions. With chronic illness, you often feel a lack of control, so any chance we can give kids control, we prefer to do that.

Therefore, Mikalsen encourages parents to discuss with their child whether mom or dad should intervene for them or if they prefer to handle the situation on their own. Though parents cant always control how people respond to their childs skin condition, they can model how to react in public and educate rather than get angry and defensive, she says.

Once youve talked with your child about ways you might (or might not) help, its time to prep your kid to take charge of any social situation that might arise. Heres how.

The very first thing a child of any age should be advised to do if teased about their psoriasis is to let an adult whom they trust know. This person can be a teacher, a family friend, a babysitter, or even the parent themselves. With an adults help, pre-planning comeback statements to use when they are teased by other children can help them feel more confident and less likely to be caught off-guard by bullies or insensitive students, according to Whitney Casares, M.D., a pediatrician in Portland, OR, and author of The Working Mom Blueprint: Winning at Parenting Without Losing Yourself .

Children might need help practicing their comebacks and knowing when it is an appropriate time to use them vs. when its best to rely on other friend groups or adults to protect them. Workshop the various types of teasingsuch as joking, name-calling, and bullying, so your child can decipher what route to take and when. By placing these actions on a continuum from mild to severe, it can help your child know what action to take.

For instance, if one of your childs peers jokes with them during P.E. class that their pants (worn to cover plaques) will slow them down, help them draft a comebackand it could be as simple as: the child sprinting to a finish line and saying afterwards, 'was that slow enough for you?' Pre-planning these exchanges could help build up your childs confidence. For more severe types of bullying, discuss the role teachers play.

To help alleviate the anxiety they have surrounding their condition, kids with psoriasis often choose to wear clothes that cover their flare-ups, even when its not in season (pants and long sleeves during summer). If another child comments on your childs psoriasis-concealing outfit, arm your child with the tools to make it a teaching moment about their skin condition, Dr. Casares says.

Give your child a script or talking points that they can use to briefly explain their medical diagnosis to their peers. By increasing others level of knowledge, theyll also increase others level of empathy, Dr. Casares says. When a childs peers have a deeper knowledge base around a specific disease like psoriasis, theyll be more likely to be supportive and less likely to tease or question the childs choices or needs.

The plaques caused by psoriasis are red and scaly, especially when theyre inflamed, which can draw unwanted attention to your childs skin as well as unwarranted comments from their peers. Support your child by role-playing situations that might arise, such as when other children ask innocent questions about their plaques, suggests Dr. Casares.

When children with psoriasis are able to differentiate when they are being teased vs. when others are genuinely curious about their disease, they can more easily navigate uncomfortable conversations, she says. Theyll also develop more confidence and acceptance of themselves as unique individuals. This is another situation that could become a teaching moment for your child and their peers. By educating your child more about their condition, such as its causes and symptoms, together you could create responses to the various comments they get about their plaques.

Unfortunately, this is a common scenarioone that you should definitely anticipate. The pool can be one of the most intimidating environments for children with psoriasis given large portions of skin are exposed, explains Dr. Casares. When children are discriminated against at a pooleither by exclusion from entering the water due to concerns from uninformed staff or via exclusion from insensitive peersit can be devastating and unjust.

Coach your child to speak with trusted adultssuch as a teacher, counselor, or parent of a friend, who can advocate on their behalf if other children discriminate against them. Advocacy is important in this situation so that the discrimination is not perpetuated and so that kids with psoriasis are less likely to be discriminated against in the future, Dr. Casares says.

And be proactive, suggests, Laurie Zelinger, Ph.D., a psychologist and parenting expert based in Cedarhurst, NY. Talk to summer camp and school administrators, pool management, or the head lifeguard before your child goes to the pool. This way they dont have to hear any discussions about their condition with the gatekeeper, she says. And if that isnt possible, pack a doctors note in their bag that states it is safe for them and others to swim together

Going through life with psoriasis and coping with the social fallout can be challenging for your family, but dont think you have to do it alone.

Connect your child with others who have the same condition so that they can discuss their experiences. You can do this by signing them up for a support group via the National Psoriasis Foundation, or even asking your childs dermatologist if they have a similar-aged patient who may be open and willing to connect with your child, says Marisa Garshick, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at Medical Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery (MDCS) in New York City. This can do wonders for your childs self-confidence, self-esteem, and mood.

Having a chronic condition during childhood can be significant and if you are noticing any changes in the mental health of your child, be sure to make your doctor aware so they can help identify and address the emotional impact of the disease, Dr. Garshick says.

By taking the steps to prepare your child for the social challenges that they may experience because of psoriasis, you are creating a foundation for understanding and for tolerating the discussions surrounding their condition. This is important because it builds up their confidence and reminds them that they are not defined by this condition alone.

Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis (ONLY CANADA DATA) Market Scope and Forecast By 2021 to 2028-Allergan, Johnson and Johnson, Amgen, Abbvie, Eli...

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) will present new data from Phase 3 studies that further demonstrated the long-term efficacy and safety profile of Taltz(ixekizumab) among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). These results are being presented at the virtual Annual European Congress of Rheumatology (EULAR), June 2-5, 2021.

AxSpA is recognized as a single disease entity, with two subtypes which are defined depending on the presence (radiographic axSpA, or r-axSpA) or absence (non-radiographic axSpA, or nr-axSpA) of defined structural damage of the sacroiliac joints on plain x-ray films as per the modified New York (mNY) criteria.

"Patients living with axial spondyloarthritis deal with a range of chronic, debilitating symptoms, including inflammatory back pain, and are in need of treatment options that can provide long-term efficacy," said Lotus Mallbris, M.D., Ph.D., vice president of immunology development at Lilly. "We are excited to present a range of new data at EULAR that demonstrate treatment with Taltz provides consistent, long-term efficacy on common signs and symptoms over time in axial spondyloarthritis."

Taltz Showed Sustained Long-Term Improvements in axSpA Through Two Years

In COAST-Y, Taltz showed consistent and sustained long-term improvements in signs and symptoms, functionality and quality of life in patients with r- and nr-axSpA. In this study, more than half of patients (56.7%) treated continuously with Taltz (80 mg every four weeks, n=157) through two years achieved Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society 40% response (ASAS40).

Among those treated continuously with Taltz every four weeks for two years:

The safety profile of Taltz was consistent with previously published safety data, and no new safety signals were observed after up to two years of treatment.

For methodology, see the "About the Analyses" section below. Additional results from the Phase 3 COAST-Y study were also recently published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.

Most Patients Treated with Taltz Did Not Show Bone Damage Progression of r-axSpA Up to Two Years

An analysis of two Phase 3 studies in r-axSpA (COAST-V and COAST-W) and the long-term extension trial (COAST-Y), found that 9 out of 10 patients treated with Taltz (89.6%, n=206) did not show radiographic progression for up to two years, as measured by mean change from baseline of modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) <2. Overall mean rates of progression were low among patients treated with Taltz. These results were similar among patients who were previously treated with anti-TNF therapy (88%, n= 106) and those who had not previously been treated with a biologic (91%, n=100). For methodology, see the "About the Analyses" section below.

"If left uncontrolled, individuals living with active radiographic axSpA can experience severe, chronic pain and structural damage in the spine that can lead to fusion of the spine and loss of mobility," said Walter P. Maksymowych, M.D., FRCP (C), Professor of Medicine at the University of Alberta, and Chief Medical Officer, CARE Arthritis, Edmonton, CA, and the senior author of this analysis. "Most patients treated with ixekizumab did not show structural damage progression at two years, and the degree of progression was small. In addition to known predictors, the novel finding is that attainment of remission of inflammation on MRI at one year protected from progression at two years."

Notably, Lilly will also present new analyses in axSpA and psoriatic arthritis, including the following:

More than 175,000 patients have been treated with Taltz worldwide since launch, giving healthcare providers confidence in making informed prescribing decisions for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis, active ankylosing spondylitis, active nr-axSpA and moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

About the Analyses

INDICATIONS AND USAGE FOR TALTZ Taltz is approved for the treatment of patients 6 years of age and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis, active ankylosing spondylitis, or active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis with objective signs of inflammation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR TALTZ

CONTRAINDICATIONSTaltz is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction, such as anaphylaxis, to ixekizumab or to any of the excipients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS InfectionsTaltz may increase the risk of infection. In clinical trials of adult patients with plaque psoriasis, the Taltz group had a higher rate of infections than the placebo group (27% vs 23%). A similar increase in risk of infection was seen in placebo-controlled trials of adult patients with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and pediatric patients with plaque psoriasis. Serious infections have occurred. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a serious infection develops, discontinue Taltz until the infection resolves.

Pre-Treatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with Taltz. Do not administer to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering Taltz. Closely monitor patients receiving Taltz for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment.

Hypersensitivity Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria (each 0.1%), occurred in the Taltz group in clinical trials. Anaphylaxis, including cases leading to hospitalization, has been reported in post-marketing use with Taltz. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue Taltz immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients treated with Taltz may be at an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease. In clinical trials, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, including exacerbations, occurred at a greater frequency in the Taltz group than the placebo group. During Taltz treatment, monitor patients for onset or exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease and if IBD occurs, discontinue Taltz and initiate appropriate medical management.

Immunizations Prior to initiating therapy with Taltz, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with Taltz.

ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse reactions (1%) associated with Taltz treatment are injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, oropharingeal pain and tinea infections. Overall, the safety profiles observed in adult patients with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and pediatric patients with plaque psoriasis were consistent with the safety profile in adult patients with plaque psoriasis, with the exception of influenza and conjunctivitis in psoriatic arthritis and conjunctivitis, influenza, and urticaria in pediatric psoriasis (also common). Adverse drug reactions in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (ankylosing spondylitis) were similar with the exception of inflammatory bowel disease (common) and rhinitis (common). In patients with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, adverse events were also similar to inflammatory bowel disease (common), influenza (common) and conjunctivitis (common).

Please see full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide for Taltz. See Instructions for Use included with the device.

IX HCP ISI 07MAY2020

About TaltzTaltz is a monoclonal antibody that selectively binds with interleukin 17A (IL-17A) cytokine and inhibits its interaction with the IL-17 receptor.IL-17A is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses.Taltz inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

About Axial SpondlyoarthritisAxial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which includes both radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA), is a disease predominantly affecting the sacroiliac joints and the spine. Common symptoms include chronic inflammatory back pain, fatigue and stiffness.1,2,3It is estimated that 2.3 million people in the U.S. have axSpA, and approximately half of those individuals live with nr-axSpA.2,4For patients with r-axSpA, the disease is characterized by the presence of structural damage of the sacroiliac joints that appears on an X-ray, while patients with nr-axSpA do not have clearly detectable structural damage radiographically.5These two patient subsets share a similar burden of disease and similar clinical features, but approved biologic treatment options for patients with nr-axSpA are much more limited and patients are often underdiagnosed.5,6

A fish pedicure involves dipping the feet into a basin of water filled with fish. These fish, Garra rufa, sometimes called doctor fish, eat the dead skin off the feet revealing smooth, callous-free skin, and cleaner-looking cuticles.

Fish pedicures are popular in Turkey, where they originated, and other Middle Eastern countries. Garra rufa fish are native to the Middle East and Southeast Asian countries. They are allowed in certain places in the United States.

The procedure became popular because the fish are able to exfoliate and soften the feet in a non-painful way. The fish pedicure tickles but does not hurt. However, these pedicures pose both health and environmental risks, and are actually banned in many U.S. states and parts of Canada and Europe.

There are several reasons fish pedicures may be considered risky or unsafe. Here are the safety concerns of fish pedicures:

The purported benefits of fish pedicures include reduced callouses, smooth skin on the feet, and exfoliation of dry skin and rough patches. A pedicure done by a human from a trusted salon will do the same, however, and so will at-home use of a pumice stone or a foot scrub. The risks of fish pedicures outweigh the benefits.

One study found a 72 percent reduction of psoriasis in people undergoing ichthyotherapy, or using Garra rufa to treat conditions, though there are other treatments that dont carry risks.

At least 14 states have banned fish pedicures, including:

They are also banned in Mexico, parts of Europe, and parts of Canada.

There are also ethical concerns associated with fish pedicures.

Fish pedicures at a salon involve putting the feet in a basin of water filled with Garra rufa, a fish native to the Middle East. The purported benefits are smoother feet and potentially less psoriasis, but the safety and ethical concerns including potential for infection and lack of sanitation between customers outweigh the benefits.

For years, I have been telling my patients your scalp is skin, so treat it well. Now, we are witness to a skinificaton of hair products and it is all because the scalp is a very important part of the hair growth process.

Healthy hair cannot be produced without a healthy scalp. The scalp skin is an extension of internal and external health. As I noted in a previous column (January 2020) the gut microbiome affects the skin microbiome which, in turn, affects the scalp microbiome, and therefore hair growth. Since 2020, we have witnessed the burgeoning of scalp care products with CBD formulations, products boasting microbiome benefits, and scalp serums and solutions for flaking, itching and tension. So, what is this all about? Lets dig into the science.

The surface of human skin is a site of microbial colonization. The commensal flora of the skin maintain a symbiotic relationship and shape the cutaneous immunity of the host. Several studies have characterized the cutaneous bacterial communities of healthy individuals and patients with inflammatory diseases, mostly in material collected using swabs. Sampling from hair follicle (HF) openings is challenging. Along their epithelium, HFs harbor a multitude of microorganisms able to reach deeper compartments, frequently organized in biofilms. The role of bacteria as disease-aggravating factors has been recognized for HF-associated inflammatory diseases such as acne vulgaris or folliculitis decalvans, an inflammatory, scarring hair loss.

Scalp hair follicles form large tubular invaginations, which extend deeply into the skin and harbor a variety of microorganisms. A single square centimeter of human skin, along with adnexal structures, such as sweat and oil glands, can be inhabited by up to one billion microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and viruses, forming a complex community known as the skin microbiome.

The scalp includes 100,000150,000 hair follicles (HFs); for comparison, the human body has about five million HFs. These follicles are formed during embryogenesis and ensure cyclic hair growth throughout ones lifetime. Those on the scalp contribute to a significant increase of skin surface area and, more importantly with regard to colonization, form pockets along the infundibulum, which extend into deeper scalp skin layers. The infundibulum is the upper portion of the hair follicle. It begins at the surface of the epidermis and extends to the opening of the sebaceous duct (where scalp oil is secreted). The infundibulum is typically filled with sebum, debris and microorganisms ranging from viruses to bacteria, as well as yeasts/fungi and even mites.

There is increasing proof of the presence of bacteria reaching below the skin surface and along the HFs, and evidence is emerging that the cross-talk between bacteria and the underlying tissue is a dynamic reciprocal process. External microbial stimuli create immunological responses across the HF epithelium, but events in the tissue also shape microbial composition. Along the infundibular HF epithelium, microorganisms find themselves in a highly immuno-active environment. In contrast to the massive exposure to microbial material in its upper part, immuneprivileged sites are found around the hair bulge and the anagen bulb. The bulge contains several epidermal stem cells. A collapse of the immune privilege is a key element in the pathogenesis of chronic scalp diseases. Numerous immune cells are deployed in the skin and around its appendages in close proximity to microbiota. Commensals are considered essential to maintain skin homoeostasis. They protect the skin from its colonization by pathogens, stimulate production of the complement system and cytokines involved in the initiation and maintenance of an immune response. Furthermore, microbiota help decrease the magnitude of inflammation and promote tissue repair.

Acne and primary scarring alopecias are good examples of how the local follicular microenvironment; e.g., hypoxic conditions and lipid substrates, resident microbes and their metabolic products, can influence inflammatory and antimicrobial processes in the skin.

The skin surface and follicular openings are recognized sites of rich microbial colonization and intense immune activation, with cross-talk across the skin barrier. The bacterial microbiome extends below the infundibulum, with the confirmed presence of various species and high abundance of Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus. It is in close proximity to structures of the immune privileged status, which are essential for the hair cycle.

Several preliminary studies suggest that external stimuli may affect the state of activation of the HF immune system. Lower sections of the HF are protected from immune cell infiltration under healthy conditions, the so-called immune-privileged areas. This includes the bulge, where a stem cell niche is found, and the bulb, where cells divide and grow to build the new hair. However, both regions are sites of intense inflammatory infiltrate in inflammatory hair diseases like primary cicatricial alopecia and alopecia areata. Alterations in the HF microbiome or the penetration depth of microbial material could be related to homeostasis, modulation of cutaneous immune reactions and inflammatory processes along the HF. The localization of this involvement with the immune system is critical, affecting the possibility of regrowth after subsidence of inflammation. When the stem cell niche is attacked, like in cicatricial alopecia, patients suffer permanent, scarring hair loss. On the other hand, AA pathogenesis involves inflammation of the peribulbar region, allowing a possible hair regrowth.

The strongest evidence supporting correlations with microorganisms colonizing the scalp has been found in seborrheic dermatitis/dandruff and in a type of inflammatory cicatricial alopecia named folliculitis decalvans (FD). An antimicrobial treatment administered in these diseases brings transient success in most cases. However, frequent recurrences, lack of efficacy in some patients and the additional need of antiinflammatory therapy in acute flareups, indicate the complexity of their pathogenesis.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) features shortening of the anagen phase and eventually, a slowly progressing miniaturization of the hair follicle. Infiltration of mononuclear cells and lymphocytes is detected in about 50% of skin samples. This microinflammation takes place in the upper third of the HF, where a great number of microorganisms are harbored. Moreover, the production of complement (inflammatory mediators), were identified in the pilosebaceous duct of 58% of patients with AGA compared to 12% of the control group. These arguments together with observed improvement after application of antimicrobial agents may suggest a possible connection with scalp microflora.

In scalp psoriasis, the rate of positive cultures of Malassezia species was higher in psoriatic scalp lesions compared to healthy controls. Changes of the scalp microbiome were found to depend on disease severity. GomezMoyano et al. identified M. restricta as the most frequent in mild scalp psoriasis, and M. globosa in moderate, and severe cases, and in patients with exacerbation in the last month. Cases of refractory scalp psoriasis successfully treated with imidazole, followed by reduction of yeasts, were presented and support the theory of a role of Malassezia as an exacerbating factor in scalp psoriasis. Furthermore, alterations in the composition of gut microbiome have been observed in patients with psoriasis.

A possible connection between colonization of the scalp by Alternaria spp. and Alopecia Areata (AA) development was postulated. Fungi of this genus were cultured from epidermal scrapings in 20% of patients compared to 13.3% of controls. Not only skin but also gut microbiome has recently been considered to be associated with AA. An increased intestinal permeability due to dysbiosis and/or inflammation may be an underlying stressor of the immune system in genetically susceptible individuals.

Low production of short chain fatty acids by intestinal bacteria as a result of insufficient intake of fibers in the Western diet is likely disadvantageous to the intestinal barrier and function of the colon. This further supports the idea that a healthy gut is important in maintaining healthy skin and hair.

There is a greater prevalence of atopic dermatitis in patients with AA compared to population prevalence. Atopic dermatitis is associated with more severe course of AA. The defective skin barrier in atopic dermatitis may ease microbial penetration to deeper follicular compartments, possibly aggravating or causing alopecia areata.

So why the skinification of hair care? The aforementioned diseases of the skin and the HFs are all due to dysfunctions of dysbiosisthe imbalance of the skin microbiome. Skin barrier dysfunction translates into scalp barrier dysfunction, leading to inflammation and hair loss as evidenced by the link between eczema and more severe alopecia areata.

Just as it is important to maintain the skin barrier with ceramides and lipids, it is important to maintain the scalp barrier as well with scalp and hair care products that mimic skin care products. It only makes sense, as the scalp is a continuation of the skin. There is no line of demarcation separating bodily skin from scalp, so why not care for your scalp as you do for your skin?
