Relapse Rate in the Real World Following Biologic Discontinuation in Psoriasis 真实世界中生物制剂停药后银屑病复发率
Across three of the four studies, roughly 8–9 out of 10 patients flared again after stopping their biologic. Even the IL-23 group, which many doctors think is longer-lasting, showed most relapses within a year. One study that mixed mainly IL-17 drugs saw a lower figure (about 1 in 2 relapsed by 6 months), but the authors only tracked that 6-month window, so the final total would likely be higher. Bottom line: biologics control psoriasis well while you take them, but stopping usually leads to a comeback fairly quickly.

Beyond Suppression: Why Immunosuppressive Therapies Control – but Do Not Cure – Eczema 超越抑制: 免疫调节疗法为何只能控制而难以治愈湿疹
Immunosuppressive medicines are powerful firefighting foam—indispensable for controlling a blaze, but they do not rebuild the wiring that keeps sparking that blaze.

Why does psoriasis relapse after the withdrawal of biological drugs? 为何在停止使用生物制剂后，银屑病会复发？
When biological drugs are withdrawn, the immune system gradually returns to its pre-treatment state, including the reactivation of pro-inflammatory pathways. This can lead to a resurgence of psoriasis symptoms, as the inflammatory processes responsible for the skin lesions resume. Furthermore, the long-term effects of biological therapies may also influence the skin’s immune tolerance, and once the suppression is lifted, the disease may return more aggressively.

Why does alcohol consumption exacerbate psoriasis and eczema? 为什么饮酒会加重牛皮癣和湿疹？
Inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema involve immune system dysregulation and skin inflammation, which alcohol can worsen through various pathways. Facial flushing, capillary dilation, and other adverse effects from alcohol consumption are primarily caused by acetaldehyde accumulation, a metabolic byproduct of alcohol. After drinking, alcohol is metabolized in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), converting ethanol into acetaldehyde.
