Professional football champion Dallas reflects on his plaque psoriasis journey one year after starting treatment with Otezla. After years of being challenged with applying topicals in hard-to-treat areas, Dallas talked with his doctor about a different approach—treating plaque psoriasis from the inside out, not just on the surface, with a pill: Otezla. Now, after being on treatment for over 4 months, Dallas is seeing results. His skin is now clearer with less redness, itching, and flaking, and he’s on a treatment that fits into his routine both on and off the field.

Pat had gotten used to covering up his plaque psoriasis and learned to live with the pitting in his nails and head-to-toe plaques. Over the years, he’d experienced lots of trial and error with different doctors and various topical treatments. But as time passed, Pat grew tired of sticky ointments on his skin. He decided it was time to try something different, and his doctor told him about a pill called Otezla. Pat is happy to say he started seeing clearer skin after 4 months and has now been on Otezla for 6 years.
