Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, multisystem inflammatory disease with predominantly skin and joint involvement. It has a bimodal age of onset (16 to 22 and 57 to 60 years)2 and affects both sexes equally. Beyond the physical dimensions of the disease, psoriasis has an extensive emotional and psychosocial effect on patients, affecting social functioning and interpersonal relationships. As a systemic inflammation disease, psoriasis is associated with multiple comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease and malignancy. The diagnosis is primarily clinical and a skin biopsy is seldom required. Depending on the severity of the disease, appropriate treatment can be initiated. First-line treatment for mild to moderate disease involves topical therapies including corticosteroids, vitamin D3 analogues, and combination products. In this review, we have discussed types, symptoms and treatment strategies for Psoriasis.
