Biologics & Topicals

Biologics are highly targeted medicines that contain molecules from living organisms. Topicals include creams, ointments or gels applied to the skin.

What is it?

Most people are acquainted with topical treatments. They usually serve as our initial approach for treating numerous skin conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema. These topical treatments are directly applied to the affected skin areas. Some of the latest topical treatments, such as JAK inhibitors (medication to reduce inflammation), have improved quickly in conditions like alopecia, vitiligo and eczema.

Biologics are transforming how we treat diseases that result in the immune system mistakenly attacking the body. Biologics are derived from living organisms and can lessen or altogether remove symptoms of psoriasis and eczema. Unlike conventional synthetic drugs that impact your overall immune system, biologics precisely target the specific area of your immune system responsible for symptoms. Biologics translate into transformative results for some patients at our dermatology clinic. Biologics function systemically and are typically administered via injection or infusion to tackle more severe cases of chronic diseases.

What to expect

When visiting a dermatologist to explore topical medications or biologics for a skin, nail, or hair disorder, you can expect a comprehensive consultation with a Midwest board-certified dermatologist. During this consultation, the dermatologist will carefully assess the condition, discussing symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to formulate a personalized treatment plan. Whether it's managing psoriasis, eczema, or another dermatological concern, the dermatologist will determine the most suitable course of action, which may include prescribing topical treatments or biologics.
