Talk to Your Doctor
Finding the Right Treatment for You
Your first step in determining if you have chronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis—and exploring whether Enbrel® (etanercept) may be right for you—is to see a dermatologist who can accurately diagnose your symptoms. While your general practitioner may be able to diagnose your symptoms, it's a good idea to see a dermatologist if you suspect you have psoriasis. Dermatologists specialize in treating skin diseases and can work with, or as a consultant to, your physician.
To find a dermatologist who has experience with ENBREL, a treatment for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, and other treatments, visit the Dermatologist Directory Service.
- Does your plaque psoriasis interfere with your everyday activities?
- Does plaque psoriasis make casual social interactions more difficult?
- Does your plaque psoriasis cause you to feel self-conscious or withdrawn?
Start the Conversation
Speak up. It's important to tell your dermatologist how the disease is affecting your life. The next time you visit with a dermatologist, make sure you use the opportunity to share recent examples of how moderate to severe plaque psoriasis affects you:
- At home
- At work
- At school
- With friends
- In public places
- In social situations
Be Proactive with a Dermatologist
To prepare for a visit with a dermatologist, take a few minutes to review the Symptoms Discussion Guide. This tool can help you to create a symptom profile that you can print and share with your dermatologist. The profile may help to better inform a discussion about your condition—and help start the conversation about a treatment option that's right for you.
