Psoriasis treatment with crohn desease

Ps. What is the diffrence between stelara and humira?

They go after a different target in your body. It's a bit difficult to explain, but today most Bio's aim for the IL (interleukin) as they are finding they give better results.

You can read more about them here: Biological Treatments For Psoriasis

If you have a choice between the two I would suggest going for Stelara.

Humira is a TNF blocker, TNF stands for Tumor Necrosis Factor. It is a pathway that is connected to Psoriasis, if you block this pathway, the Psoriasis will go down with most people. Unfortunately also most people develop anti-bodies against it. So it is a treatment that will not last, for most, some lucky people can stay longer on it.
Stelara is an Interleukine inhibitor, that means that Stelara binds on the IL-23 receptors of the cell’s, because of this block the expression of Psoriasis on the skin and often also the Psoriactic Arthritis will go at bay.
