Servicing Bayside for more than 30 years Brighton Dermatology is a general dermatology practice that has been serving the community for more than 30 years.

Psoriasis affects more than one in 50 people in Melbourne. In many, it may affect only limited parts of the body, particularly the elbows, knees and scalp. However in other people it can be widespread.

Management extends from using creams for the milder cases to ultraviolet light treatment, tablets and, for the most severe cases, new biologic drugs that also lessen the effects of the arthritis that can accompany the condition.
