Psoriasis knee icon
Psoriasis

Your AndHealth team understands that psoriasis is not “just a rash”—it’s an immune-driven condition that can affect your confidence, comfort, and overall health. For Columbus residents, psoriasis flares often worsen during dry winter months, when indoor heating pulls moisture from the skin, or during high-stress periods at work or school.

Atopic dermatitis icon
Atopic dermatitis (Eczema)

Eczema affects people of all ages across Columbus, from college students at Ohio State to working professionals downtown and families in surrounding neighborhoods. The dryness of central Ohio winters and high pollen counts in spring often trigger flares, leading to itching, redness, and disrupted sleep.

Hidradenitis suppurativa icon
Hidradenitis suppurativa

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes deep, painful nodules under the skin—most often in areas prone to friction. For many Columbus residents, HS can be emotionally and physically draining, affecting mobility, comfort, and confidence, so we take a comprehensive approach.

How a virtual dermatology visit works

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.

Personalized treatments & care unique to Columbus, Ohio

Comprehensive treatment plans for Columbus dermatology patients

Columbus is a city of innovation, and your dermatology care should reflect that. AndHealth’s comprehensive approach blends local expertise with the most advanced treatments available. Your dermatology care team integrates medical dermatology, lifestyle support, and behavioral health to help you manage psoriasis, eczema, or HS with whole person care.

Columbus’ four-season climate requires adaptable treatment strategies. Winter’s dryness can strip natural oils, while summer humidity increases sweat and friction that aggravate HS. Spring pollen and air pollutants downtown may inflame eczema-prone skin. We design your care plan with these realities in mind, adjusting topical, systemic, and lifestyle therapies for each season.

Your team includes your dermatologist, clinical pharmacist, health coach, and patient navigator—all coordinating your care through AndHealth’s comprehensive, coordinated care. Whether you live in Worthington, Clintonville, or Hilliard, you can access high-quality dermatology care virtually or in person without waiting months for a referral.

AndHealth partners closely with local health systems for any advanced procedures, ensuring your treatment remains continuous and connected within Columbus’ growing healthcare ecosystem.

Common PsO, AD, HS symptoms better & worse in Columbus

Dermatology symptoms made better in Columbus

The city’s shoulder seasons—April through May and September through October—often bring symptom relief, with balanced humidity and comfortable temperatures that help restore skin hydration and barrier function.

Dermatology symptoms more challenging in Columbus

Dry winters, including an average January humidity dropping below 60%, eczema and psoriasis flares are more common due to moisture loss. High summer humidity means HS symptoms often worsen in July and August when morning humidity exceeds 80%, increasing friction and inflammation. Springtime pollen and city greenspaces trigger allergic responses that may flare atopic dermatitis.

Traffic emissions from I-70 and I-71 corridors can increase oxidative stress on skin, contributing to irritation and redness.

Your AndHealth team helps you anticipate these changes with personalized hydration, medication adjustments, and lifestyle coaching, so your skin stays balanced all year long.

How common is a PsO, AD or HS diagnosis for people in Columbus?

Psoriasis diagnosis rates in Columbus

Around 3% of U.S. adults live with psoriasis, translating to approximately 60,000–70,000 Columbus-area residents. Urban stressors like pollution and indoor work environments can contribute to flares, while access to high-quality care improves long-term outcomes.

Atopic dermatitis diagnosis rates in Columbus

One of the most common chronic skin conditions, eczema (AD) affects about 1 in 10 adults in central Ohio. So eczema affects roughly 10% of central Ohio’s adult population, including college students and young professionals balancing busy schedules and limited sleep. Studies show that lifestyle stress and variable climate conditions contribute to the frequency and intensity of flares.

Hidradenitis suppurativa diagnosis rates in Columbus

Roughly 1% of adults may have HS, though many cases remain undiagnosed, particularly in younger populations. Around 20,000 Columbus-area adults may have HS, though many cases remain undiagnosed. The city’s diverse population includes younger adults and women, who experience HS at higher rates. AndHealth provides early identification and modern treatment options to minimize pain and prevent scarring.

Your AndHealth coordinated care team ensures earlier diagnosis, better management, and a compassionate care approach that restores confidence.

Unique geographic factors for PsO, AD and HS in Columbus

Columbus’ geography, weather, and environment uniquely influence skin health.

Air quality

Columbus’ rapid growth brings both opportunity and environmental challenges. The city’s air quality index occasionally exceeds recommended limits due to traffic and industrial emissions, which can trigger inflammation in eczema and psoriasis. AndHealth helps you track air quality levels and adjust your routine accordingly.

Clean water

Central Ohio’s moderately hard water can strip the skin’s natural barrier, exacerbating eczema. We provide product and skincare recommendations that neutralize hard water’s effects, helping restore balance and comfort.

Allergens and agriculture

High pollen counts during spring and fall, combined with variable barometric pressure, make Columbus one of the most allergy-affected cities in the Midwest. Atopic dermatitis often flares during these times; our team adjusts topical and systemic therapies seasonally to minimize impact.

Seasonal changes

Downtown Columbus experiences an “urban heat island” effect that raises temperatures by several degrees, important for HS management. Your care plan may include clothing, hygiene, and cooling strategies to reduce friction and bacterial overgrowth.

Get educated: health fairs or health events in Columbus

Columbus’ thriving health and wellness community provides year-round opportunities for education, connection, and advocacy around chronic skin conditions.

Ohio State Wexner Medical Center’s Healthy Community Day offers free screenings, skincare education, and community resources each summer. The Ohio State Fair Health Pavilion includes booths on chronic skin conditions, biologic treatment education, and holistic wellness strategies.

Local wellness expos, like the Columbus Women’s Wellness Expo and Body Mind Spirit Expo, feature sessions on nutrition, mindfulness, and stress reduction, all of which influence skin health. National Psoriasis Foundation’s Team NPF Walk in Columbus raises awareness and builds community for those living with psoriasis and psoriatic conditions.

Get support: PsO, AD and HS chronic condition community groups & patient groups in Columbus

Living with a chronic skin condition is easier when you’re not alone. Columbus offers both in-person and online spaces to share, learn, and connect.

In-person community groups

The National Psoriasis Foundation hosts annual community walks, peer support meetings, and educational workshops. OhioHealth and OSU Wexner Medical Center often partner with dermatology organizations to offer eczema and HS support groups for patients and caregivers. Local YMCAs and community centers run wellness programs that focus on stress reduction and skin-friendly exercise options.

Online community groups

“Columbus Psoriasis and Eczema Support” and “Central Ohio HS Warriors” Facebook groups offer peer connections, treatment insights, and product recommendations. Together, these resources create a supportive community focused on healing, self-advocacy, and resilience.
