Hi everyone,
I’m planning to move to Japan on a student visa for language school, and I have psoriasis that’s currently managed with biologics. I’m trying to understand how realistic continuing treatment would be while living in Japan.
Specifically:
Has anyone here successfully continued biologic treatment after moving?
How does this work with Japanese health insurance (NHI) for students?
Any advice on finding dermatologists or navigating prescriptions as a foreigner?
I know treatment protocols can be different, and I’m open to switching medications if needed — I’m just trying to plan ahead and avoid surprises.
Any experiences, tips, or general advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!
