The session began with an in-depth overview of the diagnosis of psoriasis. The presenters discussed the pathogenesis of the disease, emphasizing the role of genetic and environmental triggers in activating the Th17/IL-23 inflammatory pathway. They highlighted the significant burden of disease, affecting over 8 million people in the United States and 125 million worldwide. The workshop explored common comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, underscoring the importance of early recognition and management. After a brief intermission, the session resumed with a review of current treatment modalities and clinical guidelines for screening and treatment. Attendees were guided through illustrative case studies and clinical examples showcasing the diverse phenotypes of psoriasis, including scalp, inverse, guttate, erythrodermic, pustular, palmar/plantar, nail, and genital psoriasis. This comprehensive session provided attendees with practical tools and insights to better manage patients with psoriasis in clinical practice.
