Psoriasis is a serious, chronic skin disease which negatively affects the quality of life of those who suffer from it, as well as potentially posing a socioeconomic burden. Psoriasis is associated with metabolic diseases, as it decreases the life expectancy of patients. Timely and adequate treatment may positively affect not only the patient’s current state but his or her future state. Moderate and severe psoriasis, in all cases, requires not only local but also systemic therapy - phototherapy, conventional systemic medication (methotexat, retinoids, cyclosporine) or biological treatment.
