Biologics and Topicals

Biologics are highly-targeted medicines that contain molecules from living organisms. Topicals include creams, ointments or gels that are applied to the skin.

What is it?

Many of us are well-acquainted with topical treatments. They frequently serve as our initial defense against skin conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema. Topical medications are applied directly to the area of the skin experiencing symptoms. Some innovative topical treatments, such as JAK inhibitors, have demonstrated swift improvements in conditions like alopecia, vitiligo and eczema.

Biologics are transforming the way we treat diseases that trigger an abnormal immune response within the body. Biologics comprise molecules derived from living organisms and can minimize or eliminate symptoms of psoriasis and eczema. Unlike synthetic drugs that can impact your entire immune system, biologics are highly targeted, focusing on the specific part of your immune system causing symptoms. For some DGC patients, this can lead to transformative results.

Biologics function systemically, typically administered through injection or infusion, to tackle more severe cases of chronic diseases. Consult with one of our board-certified dermatologists in Dublin, Columbus, Canal Winchester, Urbana, Circleville, Washington Courthouse, Grove City and Marysville, Ohio, to determine if biologics or topicals are the appropriate treatment for you and your skin needs.
