Book excerpt: Psoriasis, a chronic autoinflammatory skin condition, significantly impacts quality of life. Its prevalence peaks at 2% in Northern countries. Thus, it is imperative to examine what practitioners can discern from psoriatic patients, ranging from the typical chronic plaque psoriasis to other manifestations. Recognizing these signs promptly can bring relief to patients and ensure optimal support. Treatment decisions must strike a balance between benefits and side effects, with patient empowerment being crucial for them to manage their lives effectively. This book offers readers, regardless of their specialty, the chance to view psoriatic patients from a different perspective, acknowledging that these patients require more than just pharmacological interventions.
