Living with psoriasis (PsO), atopic dermatitis (AD), or hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) shouldn’t mean putting your Ohio life on hold. From Cleveland’s lake breezes to Cincinnati’s rolling hills and Columbus’ lively neighborhoods, your skin health deserves specialized care that understands Ohio life.
At AndHealth, we bring advanced dermatology care directly to you, helping you restore comfort, confidence, and connection across every corner of the Buckeye State.
Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa are complex inflammatory dermatology skin conditions that go beyond the surface. These conditions affect millions of Americans, and thousands of people across Ohio are navigating their daily impact on comfort, confidence, and well-being.
At AndHealth, our dermatology specialists treat not just your skin, but your whole health. Whether you’re managing the plaques of psoriasis, the itching of eczema, or the painful nodules of hidradenitis suppurativa, we work to uncover the underlying causes, calm inflammation, and help your skin heal inside and out. We are in-network with Medicare, Medicaid and most major health plans to help manage the cost of these chronic conditions.

Your AndHealth team understands that psoriasis is a chronic immune condition that can affect your confidence, comfort, and daily routine. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn plaques on your elbows and knees or high inflammation that makes sleep difficult, your AndHealth care team builds a treatment plan tailored to you.

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common yet misunderstood chronic skin conditions. The intense itching, redness, and skin barrier disruption can make even simple tasks challenging. For many Ohio residents, triggers like indoor heating during long winters, high pollen counts, or even hard water can worsen symptoms.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a painful, recurring skin condition that causes deep nodules, abscesses, and scarring, often in areas where skin rubs together. For many Ohioans, HS can disrupt work, social activities, and self-esteem. It’s a condition that requires not only medical expertise but also compassion and discretion.

Virtual video visits available for Indiana & Ohio residents
We want you to feel as comfortable in an online appointment as you would in person. Here’s how a virtual appointment works.
You and your doctor will join a video call at a place most convenient to you - at home, work, your car, etc.
Choose somewhere quiet where you can speak freely, and where you have a good internet connection.
Your nearest Community Health Center can also provide a private room with a computer where you can join your appointment (reserved in advance).
Your dermatologist will ask you where you are experiencing symptoms.
They will ask you to show the affected skin on camera to confirm size, shape, location, inflammation and other factors.
If needed, your dermatologist will order blood work to get more information, as they would during an in-person exam.
When you are in a flare, or having a hard day, an online appointment can be much easier to join.
An online appointment saves you time from driving to an office, sitting in a waiting room, and then seeing your provider.
An online appointment should feel as unrushed and thorough as in person.
We want you to always feel that you can ask all of your questions, report on how you've been feeling, and help us create or modify the best treatment plan for you.
Ohio’s diverse environment, from its humid summers to its dry, cold winters, means your skin faces constant change. AndHealth care includes personalized treatment plans that adapt to your local climate, your schedule, and your unique symptoms.
Psoriasis flares often worsen with Ohio’s cold winters, when indoor heating dries the air and reduces natural sunlight exposure. Atopic dermatitis can spike during pollen seasons, while hidradenitis suppurativa often worsens in summer’s heat and humidity. Our care team designs personalized strategies that account for these regional factors.
We integrate advanced biologic therapies, targeted topical treatments, and whole person lifestyle support including stress management, nutrition guidance, and sleep optimization. Your AndHealth dermatologist works alongside clinical pharmacists, health coaches, and patient navigators to coordinate every part of your care, and no referral is required.
Ohio’s moderate spring and fall temperatures often provide periods of relief. Gentle humidity and balanced sunlight can help hydrate the skin and calm inflammatory cycles, particularly for people living with psoriasis and eczema.
Your AndHealth care team helps you anticipate and manage these seasonal shifts through proactive treatment plans, hydration strategies, and medication adjustments that keep your skin stable all year long.
Ohio’s unpredictable weather is more than a conversation topic—it’s a skin health factor.
Pollen seasons. Spring and fall allergens can inflame atopic dermatitis, triggering itching and redness even without direct contact.
Summer humidity. For hidradenitis suppurativa, heat and sweat increase friction and bacterial growth in affected areas, leading to more frequent flare-ups.
Winter dryness and sunlight variability. Cold air and indoor heating strip moisture from the skin, worsening eczema and psoriasis. The result? Flaking, itching, and fissures that make daily comfort difficult. Moderate sun exposure may ease psoriasis symptoms through natural vitamin D synthesis, but cloudy winters and long indoor work hours limit this benefit.
Roughly 3% of adults in the U.S. live with psoriasis, meaning over 350,000 Ohio residents experience this chronic condition. Psoriasis can develop at any age, but tends to peak between 30 and 50. Ohio’s working-age population, particularly those in occupations exposed to cold, dry environments, show slightly higher rates of plaque psoriasis compared to the national average.
Ohio’s mix of urban and rural communities affects atopic dermatitis prevalence. Cities like Cleveland and Columbus show increased rates due to pollution and indoor allergens, while rural areas face unique environmental irritants like dust and farm chemicals. Overall, an estimated 1 million Ohioans experience eczema symptoms each year.
Though less common, HS remains underdiagnosed across Ohio. Nationally, prevalence averages 1%, so approximately 120,000 Ohio adults may live with HS. The condition’s stigma and misdiagnosis as infection or acne delay treatment by years for many patients, particularly in areas without easy access to dermatology specialists.
Your AndHealth care team ensures earlier diagnosis, better management, and a compassionate care approach that restores confidence.
Ohio’s geography, weather, and environment uniquely influence skin health.
Industrial corridors near Cleveland, Toledo, and Cincinnati experience elevated particulate matter (PM2.5) that can worsen inflammation and skin irritation. Air pollution has been linked to flare frequency in both psoriasis and atopic dermatitis due to oxidative stress on skin cells.
Ohio’s water hardness varies widely, with higher mineral levels in central and western regions. Hard water can aggravate eczema and psoriasis by disrupting the skin barrier. AndHealth dermatologists provide customized skincare guidance and product recommendations to protect against these irritants.
Pollen counts rise steadily in spring and summer due to Ohio’s rich agricultural output and tree cover. These allergens can trigger atopic dermatitis and HS inflammation through immune system activation.
Ohio’s rapid temperature shifts and high humidity cycles affect skin hydration and inflammation levels. Your AndHealth care team can help you plan for these anticipated changes in the weather so that you can plan for the seasons and have the right treatments ready instead of reacting after a flare due to weather has onset.
Health education and early intervention change lives. Across Ohio, dermatology-focused events, wellness fairs, and chronic condition summits provide opportunities for learning, connection, and empowerment.
Cleveland Clinic’s Annual Medical Dermatology Symposium offers public education on autoimmune skin disorders and biologic advances.
Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Healthy Community Day includes free screenings, skincare education, and health coaching resources for underserved populations.
The Ohio State Fair’s Health Pavilion features chronic disease awareness booths each summer, often including skin health education and free product samples.
Local county health fairs in Franklin, Cuyahoga, and Hamilton counties host annual wellness events that connect residents to dermatology resources and mental health support. Your AndHealth team stays engaged with Ohio’s broader health ecosystem, helping patients find the education and community resources that support lifelong skin health.
You don’t have to manage your psoriasis, atopic dermatitis or hidradenitis suppurativa skin condition alone.
The National Psoriasis Foundation’s Ohio Chapters host meetups, walks, and patient advocacy events in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. These groups offer emotional support, new treatment updates, and social connection. Local hospitals, including OSU Wexner, University Hospitals Cleveland, and OhioHealth, often sponsor eczema and chronic skin condition workshops.
There are “Ohio Psoriasis & Eczema Support” and “Midwest HS Warriors” Facebook groups to connect residents statewide. These support options help reduce stigma, encourage self-care, and remind you that healing is possible—with the right care team beside you.
