Graham Litchman, DO, MS, a board-certified dermatologist at Vivida Dermatology in Las Vegas, Nevada, discusses a patient case involving a 54-year-old female patient with psoriasis who did not respond well to conventional treatments or systemic steroids. Dr. Lichtman introduced her to risankizumab (Skyrizi), explaining its mechanism of action, adverse events, and dosing schedule. The patient experienced significant improvement by the 3-month mark, with most plaques disappearing. After 1 year of treatment, the patient had only a small area of plaques.
