Psoriasis is a common chronic disfiguring skin disease. Its management depends on the extent of disease, sites affected, comorbidities, and patient's background or lifestyle. In the UK, psoriasis treatment starts in the primary care with range of topical applications, including steroids, vitamin D analogues and coal tar. However, psoriasis is associated with physical, psychological and metabolic comorbidities which could not be improved by topical therapy. The aim of this review is to address the challenge in managing these comorbidities within primary care.
银屑病是一种常见的慢性毁容性皮肤病。其治疗取决于疾病的严重程度、受累部位、合并症以及患者的背景或生活方式。在英国，银屑病的治疗始于初级保健，采用一系列局部用药，包括类固醇、维生素D类似物和煤焦油。然而，银屑病与身体、心理和代谢方面的合并症相关，局部治疗无法改善这些合并症。本综述的目的是应对初级保健中管理这些合并症的挑战。
