Psoriasis care at Mayo Clinic

Your Mayo Clinic care team personalizes your psoriasis care to ensure an accurate diagnosis, an effective treatment plan that works for you and the very best service.

Mayo Clinic dermatologists are very experienced in diagnosing and treating children and adults who have psoriasis, even the most rare and complex types. If you need another specialist, such as a rheumatologist to manage psoriatic arthritis, your Mayo Clinic care team works together to provide whatever you need.

Psoriasis is unique for everyone, and the effects range from mild to almost totally disabling. Your doctor will work with you to determine the correct diagnosis for your type of psoriasis, which is essential for effective treatment.

Mayo Clinic offers all treatments for this disease, including the Goeckerman treatment invented at Mayo Clinic for moderate to severe psoriasis. The Goeckerman treatment is not available in many places. This very effective therapy involves receiving daily ultraviolet light exposure and applying coal tar over the whole body.

Mayo Clinic has major campuses in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona; Jacksonville, Florida; and Rochester, Minnesota. The Mayo Clinic Health System has dozens of locations in several states.
