I just read an article which mentions three new treatments for psoriasis, which have been very successful and are the first of their kind. One is the very first biological weapon against psoriasis, and I was thinking this might be something for those with severe seborrheic dermatitis as well?

They are called Remicade (infliximab), Raptiva(efalizumab) and Enbrel (etanercept).

Hi Andy,

Hope these new drugs can help seborrheic dermatitis too. Seems like no major breakthrough in treating seb derm, they should create a laser or IPL to well-treat seb derm.
