title: [Treatment of skin psoriasis].
abstract: Partly similar inflammatory mediators are functioning in the disease process of psoriasis and its associated diseases. An overall improvement in patient's health status is likely to result in a better control of the comorbidities as well. Arthropathic psoriasis should be suspected, if arthritis and psoriasis occur simultaneously. Dermatitis can be only rarely rendered symptomless. Skin psoriasis with mild symptoms requires no treatment, provided that it doesn't disturb the patient. Most patients will manage moderately with topical therapy. Internal treatment of skin psoriasis will be initiated and monitored by a specialized dermatologist.
