Outward appearance is exquisitely and undeniably tied to self-perception. Pediatric patients with psoriasis face the challenge of coping with psychosocial issues because of the visibility of their skin lesions. The burden of psoriasis also affects the quality of life of family members. This article discusses pediatric psoriasis, current literature on psychosocial impact, role of the nurse to help patients and families cope, and recommendations for further research. Through clinical intervention, patient education, and referral to resources, the nurse can hope to relieve some stress and help the child, adolescent, and family maintain their improved quality of life.
