A member asked:
How long will it take for scalp psoriasis to go away after the initiation of enbrel (etanercept) 50 mg/week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies.: Enbrel (etanercept) and similar biologic medications are extremely effective therapies for psoriasis. The length of time needed to totally resolve the rash depends on the severity of the skin involvement. 3-4 months is a reasonable time.
