The Epidemiology, Etiology, and Therapeutic Approaches of Psoriasis: A Review Article
Journal Title: International Journal of Health & Medical Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 08
Abstract
Psoriasis is a common condition, affecting approximately 3-7% of the population in Western countries. It does not only affect the skin, as the buildup of skin cells can also result in the development of psoriatic arthritis that progresses to joint destruction. It is a chronic condition affecting over 60 million people worldwide. The incidence of psoriasis varies globally, with some countries reporting rates as low as 0.1% and others as high as 11.8%. This review discusses in detail the different aspects related to the epidemiology, etiology, and therapeutic approaches of psoriasis.
