Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales. These patches normally appear on the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back but can appear anywhere on the body. Most people are only affected in small patches. In some cases, the patches can be itchy or sore. Psoriasis is a long-lasting (chronic) disease that usually involves periods when there are no symptoms or mild symptoms, followed by periods when symptoms are more severe (NHS Choices).
This book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and management of psoriasis for practising and trainee dermatologists.
Presented in a step by step, practical approach, the text explores the condition across various skin types and healthcare settings.
The latest advances in pharmaceutical treatments, with a focus on new drugs and biological agents, along with recent guidelines for monitoring patients on new therapies, are discussed in depth.
Clinical images, diagrams and flowcharts further enhance the text assisting with accurate assessment and treatment planning.
