Psoriasis Treatment in Voorhees, NJ
A Dermatologist Who Treats Psoriasis as a Whole-Body Condition
Psoriasis isn't just a skin problem. It's a chronic autoimmune inflammatory condition linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and psoriatic arthritis. At Pop Dermatology, Dr. Samantha Pop brings a rare combination of credentials to psoriasis care: double-board certification in both dermatology and internal medicine. That dual training means she evaluates the full scope of how psoriasis affects your health, not just the plaques on your skin.
Our Voorhees practice serves patients of all ages, including children, from Cherry Hill, West Berlin, and throughout South Jersey. Whether you're dealing with a new diagnosis or years of undertreated flares, Dr. Pop is directly involved in your care at every visit.

How We Approach Psoriasis Treatment
Dr. Pop begins with a thorough evaluation of your psoriasis type, severity, affected areas, and any related health conditions before recommending a personalized treatment plan. Because she's involved at every appointment, your plan can evolve as your condition does.
Treatments Dr. Pop may recommend based on your case:
- Topical therapies Including corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, calcineurin inhibitors, and salicylic acid for mild-to-moderate disease
- Narrowband UVB phototherapy For patients who need more than topicals alone
- Oral systemic medications Such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, or acitretin when disease is more widespread
- Biologic agents Targeting specific immune pathways (TNF-alpha, IL-17, IL-23) for moderate-to-severe psoriasis
- Combination approaches Pairing topicals with phototherapy or a systemic medication to support better control
Treatment selection depends on disease severity, where psoriasis appears on your body, your medical history, and how you've responded to previous therapies. For ongoing management, teledermatology appointments are available so you can check in without an office visit when appropriate.
Psoriasis is a chronic condition with no cure, but the right plan can significantly reduce symptoms and help you manage flare triggers over time. Our goal is long-term control that fits your life.

Types of Psoriasis We Evaluate
Getting an accurate diagnosis at your first visit helps determine which treatment path will be most effective. Psoriasis presents in several forms, and each has distinct characteristics that influence how Dr. Pop builds your plan.
Plaque Psoriasis
The most common form, plaque psoriasis produces raised, red patches covered with silvery scale. It most often appears on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, though it can develop anywhere on the body.
Scalp Psoriasis
Scalp involvement presents particular challenges because hair can block the delivery of standard phototherapy. Targeted treatment approaches and specific topical formulations are often needed to manage scalp disease effectively.
Nail Psoriasis
Pitting, thickening, discoloration, and separation from the nail bed affect a significant number of people with psoriasis. Nail changes can also be an early indicator of psoriatic arthritis, making them an important diagnostic signal.
The Connection Between Psoriasis & Systemic Health
Psoriasis is associated with psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression. This is exactly why Dr. Pop's internal medicine background matters. She doesn't just treat the visible patches; she considers the metabolic, cardiovascular, and joint-related conditions that frequently accompany psoriasis and can coordinate care across those concerns.

Why Voorhees Patients Choose Pop Dermatology for Psoriasis
Dr. Pop's double-board certification in dermatology and internal medicine sets her apart from other psoriasis providers in the area. Psoriasis carries systemic risks that extend well beyond the skin, and her internal medicine training means she evaluates and accounts for cardiovascular, metabolic, and joint-related comorbidities as part of your care.
Her training reflects that same depth. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, followed by her Dermatology residency and chief residency at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson. She graduated at the top of her class from Cooper Medical School of Rowan University and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society.
Dr. Pop also received the Katherine Swan Ginsburg Award for compassionate, patient-centered care. At our small practice, she personally manages every patient relationship with no handoffs to mid-level providers. Se habla español.
