How Can severe Psoriasis In The Ear Be Treated?
I have psoriasis in my right ear (and all over my body) and am having alot of deep pain that is reaching into my neck. I have had it for three weeks, have gone to four doctors and no one has an answer or any suggestions. I had an infusion of Remicade 10 weeks ago and am wondering if I have an earache/infection because of it. A ENT, my RA and Gastro docs say No. But my Dermatologist says Yes.

Hello,
Ear lesion is part of widespread psoriatic disease you are having, for which you are already under treatment with immunosuppressive drugs like Infliximab (Anti-TNF-α).
Infections including secondary infection may occur following Infliximab (Remicade ).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
