Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory-proliferative disease. The course of the disease is unpredictible. Psoriasis can be divided into two types (adolescence and adult). Psoriatic arthritis is observed among about 25% of the patients. Familiy history is positive in about 30% of the patients. Long-lasting researches confirmed that psoriasis can coexist with other systemic diseases like for example diabetes. The most typical lesion for psoriasis is red or pink papule covered by silver or yellow scales. The most common locations are knees, elbows, scalp, sacral area and extensor sufrace of the limbs. Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis is not life-threathening disease, but it may be a reason of the problems with normal family and social life. This is why cooperation with the patients in respect to the treatment (local, systemic and psychological) is so import.
