Psoriasis | Market Street Dermatology

Gaining control of a chronic skin condition

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that develops from inflammatory signals in the skin, which cause isolated areas of thickened and flakey skin. It can involve any area of the skin including the scalp and nails, and the degree of involvement can vary from a few small lesions to the entire surface of the skin. Psoriasis is not contagious, and it may have a genetic predisposition in some individuals. It can present at any time of life and can flare with illness, infection, or even lifestyle.

We know that psoriasis can be frustrating and difficult to manage. Fortunately, there have been major advancements in the understanding and treatment of psoriasis in the past decade. At Market Street Dermatology, we focus on treatment options, such as phototherapy, and preventative strategies to find what will be the safest and most effective treatment plan for you. We are not only knowledgeable and familiar with the most advanced treatments, but also have years of experience with tried and true options for the treatment of psoriasis.

We know your skin is personal, so we make sure our care is grounded in well-researched practices and is tailored specifically for you. Most importantly, we will ensure you are being appropriately monitored for associated conditions such as joint involvement and heart disease.

“I can’t recommend Market Street Dermatology highly enough. The staff are professional, kind and accommodating, and their doctors are smart, astute, and knowledgeable.

“Hands down the BEST dermatology clinic in the metro area (I’d even say in all of Minnesota)! I have been struggling for years with psoriasis and have tried every treatment in the book. After seeing dermatologists across the state with no luck, I found this place. Today, my skin is completely cleared and I have never felt better. The doctor and staff are super personable and friendly, even taking time to learn your name. They did not give up until we found what works specifically for me. I am so thankful for all they have done for me. Because of Market Street Dermatology, I am finally comfortable in my own skin (literally).”

“I’ve probably worked with five or six dermatologists in my lifetime dealing with various issues, but mainly skin damage from sun exposure and skin cancer. I chose Market Street because they were great listeners who take the time to analyze the issue to figure out the best treatment plan. I’ve been going here for at least 10 years, and would never consider seeing another dermatologist. It’s very obvious how dedicated they are to their profession and patients. I even convinced my wife to switch over years ago, and she liked her dermatologist but now is totally hooked on Market Street! Also, the staff is super friendly and very professional. Honestly, I can’t recommend Market Street Dermatology enough!”

“I have been going to Market Street Dermatology every since Dr. Scheurer and Dr. Kauls started their clinic. I have a propensity to develop skin cancers and need to be seen on a regular basis. I have never had trouble getting an appointment if there is some urgency to been seen. I have had numerous procedures at the clinic all professional and skillfully done. It is so nice to walk into the clinic and have the staff call you be your first name. The clinic is staffed with an awesome team. They all make you feel special I am a very lucky person to have found such a dedicated group that makes me feel like more than just a patient.”
