Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease that causes rapid skin cell overproduction, resulting in thick, red, and scaly patches on the skin, especially on the knees, elbows, and scalp. While there is no cure, treatments like topical creams, phototherapy, and systemic medications can manage symptoms. The condition is triggered by an immune system problem and can be genetic, with factors like stress, infections, and certain medications acting as triggers. Authored by over 30 psoriasis experts, this comprehensive handbook covers all aspects of the disease, from aetiopathogenesis to emerging therapies.Each chapter provides key take-home points for clinical application.Emphasising patient quality of life, the book explores comorbidities, adherence strategies, and mental health support.Richly illustrated with charts and tables, the text details treatment options, including biologics and AI-driven precision medicine.This invaluable resource blends science and practice to advance psoriasis management for clinicians, researchers, and students.
