Psoriasis.

Abstract

Psoriasis is a common skin condition that can be controlled in nearly every patient. The diagnosis of psoriasis is generally made on the basis of identification of skin lesions of characteristic morphology in characteristic locations. A variety of treatments and resources are available to patients with psoriasis and to the physicians who treat them. Development of an appropriate treatment regimen is facilitated by categorization of psoriasis into localized versus generalized forms.
