Psoriasis
The main aims of treatment are to minimize the severity of symptoms and reduce the impact of psoriasis on the patient’s quality of life.
As psoriasis is a chronic disease, a long-term treatment plan is needed. Treatment often changes during the disease’s duration, so a patient can cycle through multiple treatment options in their lifetime.
Treatment depends largely on the extent of the condition and how much it affects the quality of life. The PASI (psoriasis area and severity index) score is used to evaluate this. Comorbidities also affect treatment as they may make some systemic treatments unsuitable.
