ABSTRACT
Psoriasis is a chronic, multifactorial and
inflammatory disease which primarily
affects skin and joints, and has a prevalence
of 2% of the world population.
In the skin, the most frequently affected
organ, is characterized by the production
of erythematous plaques covered by
scales. Psoriasis has an important genetic
component, related to alterations in the
major complex of histocompatibility.
This entity is characterized by abnormalities
in the control of innate and adaptive
immunity, facilitating a chronic state of
inflammation. Psoriasis manifests itself
in different phenotypes including psoriasis
vulgaris or plaques, guttate psoriasis,
inverse psoriasis, pustular psoriasis and
erythrodermic psoriasis. Most of these
phenotypes have a cyclical evolution
with outbreaks and relapses. Psoriasis has
been associated with multiple rheumatological,
cardiovascular and metabolic
comorbidities that significantly impact
the patient’s life. The initial approach
and management of this disorder are
fundamental in the practice of the family
physician, the objective of generating an
early reference and avoiding serious complications.
This article recapitulates the
most relevant aspects in the diagnosis,
early recognition of comorbidities, and
management of psoriasis at the Primary
care level.
