Psoriasis: A Biological and Behavioral Management Approach
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Psoriasis is characterized as a chronic inflammatory disease and while it is affecting a large percentage of the population worldwide it is linked to be triggered by a variety of reasons. It can be treated with topical, oral, intravenous, photochemotherapy, biologic agents or a combination of therapies, based on patient’s needs or skin severity. Most of these therapies can be expensive or even difficult to receive. The red scaly plaques on the skin alongside with the underlying symptoms can affect the wellbeing of patients. Areas such as the type of dermatological treatment which causes a psychological burden to patients once they are diagnosed with psoriasis, as well as the need of a multidisciplinary approach for the management of psoriasis are briefly discussed in this article.
