This visit is for adults with limited plaque psoriasis, or scaly skin patches, already diagnosed by a clinician. A physician reviews photos and may recommend skin care and one limited course of medicine applied to the skin. Ongoing care stays with your dermatologist or primary clinician.

If treatment is appropriate, your physician can send a non-controlled prescription to your pharmacy and provide portal instructions for the next step.
