Steroids for PS?: Systemic steroids have made no sense for treatment of psoriasis, since they always cause rebound psoriasis. This does not apply to topical steroids. There are no implications for your rx, except it should not have occurred!

Should not interfere: The psoriasis should not interfere with the use of dermal fillers . However there are concerns with the use of fillers and autoimmune disease, which psoriasis is generally not considered one of these.

Psoriasis and filler: Having psoriasis is not a contraindication to filler use. Discuss this issue with your surgeon and be sure to have your face evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon with experience in injectables
