Tampa dermatologist Dr. Seth Forman, one of a selected few physicians to offer innovative treatments, is relieving even the most severe conditions of eczema and psoriasis

To help alleviate these harsh diseases, Dr. Forman offers the most advanced treatments and conducts ongoing clinical trials to help find the most effective remedies.

While many will just chalk it as a simple skin disease, I take eczema and psoriasis very seriously, says the Tampa dermatologist. These conditions can be debilitating for those suffering from them, not just cosmetically, but physically.

Also called atopic dermatitis, eczema is an itchy red rash that can appear all over the body according to the National Eczema Association. Approximately 30 million people, mostly children, in the United States suffer from the condition.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes raised, red, scaly patches to appear on the skin, per the National Psoriasis Foundation. The disease often develops between the ages of 15 and 35.

Eczema and psoriasis can be unbearable for people affected with the condition, but my office has been dedicated to easing the pain, physically and emotionally for our patients, continued Dr. Forman.

With access to the newest and most effective treatments, weve been able to help the most extreme cases reduce, or show absolutely no signs of, these unsightly ailments.

The Tampa dermatologist is currently enrolling patients in clinical trials for both skin diseases. For more on Dr. Seth Forman, Tampa dermatology or Forman Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute, please visit http://www.FormanDerm.com.

About Dr. Seth Forman:Dr. Forman is a board-certified dermatologist practicing in Tampa, Florida. He was voted the Best Dermatologist in Carrollwood in 2011 and 2012 by the Carrollwood News and Tribune. In December 2011, he opened his new Tampa dermatologyoffice, Forman Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute, where he gives psoriasis sufferers access to the latest treatment options, including topical and oral medications, as well as biological and phototherapy. Dr. Forman is one of the few Tampa dermatologists to offer narrowband light therapy, which uses pharmaceutical grade light to suppress psoriasis. Hes also one of the few board-certified dermatologists in the U.S. to use the SRT-100 radiotherapy to treat basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer.

PORTLAND, Ore., March 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Americans with chronic diseases like psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis may be better able to afford vital medication to effectively manage their conditions, thanks to bipartisan legislationthe Patients' Access to Treatments Act (PATA)introduced in Congress yesterday.

The legislation, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Reps. David McKinley (R-WV) and Lois Capps (D-CA), aims to lower out-of-pocket costs for systemic and biologic drugs, which are used to treat chronic and disabling diseases like psoriatic disease, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, and cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. These drugs are often placed on "specialty tiers," where a portion of the total cost of the drug is passed on to patients, called a coinsurance.

Learn more about PATA and its impact on people with psoriatic disease: http://www.psoriasis.org/pata-info.

Specialty drugs for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis cost millions of Americans upwards of $1,500 to $5,000 per month in out-of-pocket costs. According to a 2015 study examining the economic burden of psoriasis, total direct costs of the diseasesuch as medical expenses from doctor's appointments and treatments--can cost upwards of $8,000 per person annually.

PATA will improve treatment adherence and health outcomes for chronic diseases by making medically necessary medication more accessible. In a recent National Psoriasis Foundation survey, more than 22 percent of respondents said cost was a barrier to accessing the treatments they need to manage their disease and avoid health complications.

"Psoriasis is a painful, chronic, noncontagious autoimmune disease without a cure, costing our society up to $135 billion annually. Up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis," said Randy Beranek, National Psoriasis Foundation president and CEO. "Access to safe and effective treatments is the number one challenge for our community. PATA will lower out-of-pocket costs on needed medications so millions with psoriatic disease can better manage their condition."

As part of the Coalition for Accessible Treatments a partnership of 32 patient and provider organizations that created the PATA legislation the National Psoriasis Foundation fights for fair and affordable access to treatments for millions of Americans with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. These are serious, systemic autoimmune diseases with a profound physical, social, psychological and financial burden.

Psoriasis, the most common autoimmune disease in the country, increases people's risk for heart disease, heart attack, stroke and early death. Treatment with systemic and biologic drugs can reduce a person's risk for these comorbidities. Additionally, treating psoriatic arthritis early and effectively can prevent irreversible joint damage.
