Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin condition that affects about 3.2% of people in the U.S. Psoriasis happens when the immune system causes skin cells to grow too quickly, leading to thick, red, scaly patches on the skin. Psoriasis is not contagious, and it can range from mild to more serious. Some people with psoriasis—about 1 in 5—also develop a type of arthritis called psoriatic arthritis. This condition causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Without treatment, psoriatic arthritis can lead to lasting joint damage. We offer expert care for psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea in Palm Beach at Carroll Dermatology.
The good news is that there are many effective treatments available for both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. These can include:

People with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis may also be at higher risk for other health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or depression. That's why it’s important to work closely with your healthcare team for conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea—not just for your skin or joints, but for your overall well-being. Early diagnosis and treatment of conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea can make a big difference in managing symptoms and preventing complications.

Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that causes dry, itchy, red, and inflamed skin. It can start in infancy or appear later in life—and while there’s no cure, it can be managed very effectively with the right care.
Eczema happens when the skin’s natural barrier becomes weakened, making it more sensitive to irritants, allergens, and dryness. It’s often linked to genetics, the immune system, and environmental factors like stress, weather, or certain products.
Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing flare-ups. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it’s important for eczema treatment to be managed by a board-certified dermatologist—especially since the condition can vary so much from person to person.
At Carroll Dermatology, we treat psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea in patients of all ages—from infants to adults. We tailor treatment plans based on your age, lifestyle, and the severity of your psoriasis, eczema, or rosacea ensuring a personalized and effective approach.

Rosacea is a common, chronic skin condition that causes redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps on the face. It can affect anyone but is most common in fair-skinned adults between 30 and 60. While rosacea cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed with the right care.
The exact cause of rosacea isn't fully understood, but it's believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Triggers can include sun exposure, hot or cold weather, spicy foods, alcohol, stress, and certain skincare products.
Treatment for rosacea should be tailored to each individual by a board-certified dermatologist. At Carroll Dermatology, we offer personalized treatment plans that may include:
