Emily is an elementary school teacher, aged 42 years, with confirmed moderate to severe psoriasis on her legs, torso, and scalp. When she was first diagnosed, her affected body surface area (BSA) was 15%. She has several plaques located at the hair border on her face and neck and are highly visible. Her quality of life is severely impacted, and she regularly stays home from work due to symptoms and fatigue. Emily mentions she is starting to feel depressed and anxious because of her psoriasis. She is embarrassed to see family and friends because of her skin condition and is irritated by the almost constant itching, especially on her scalp. Emily is currently receiving treatment with adalimumab but has not yet achieved symptom control. Her affected BSA did decrease to 4%, but she never achieved complete skin clearance, and her scalp is still itchy.
She is frustrated and does not know what to do next.
