Several variants of psoriasis are seen in children, the most prevalent types include plaque, guttate, and psoriatic diaper rash; pustular and erythrodermic psoriasis are less frequently observed. Genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers are both involved in the development of this autoimmune disease. As well as improving symptoms, a treatment plan should strive to identify and eliminate precipitating factors. Topical medications are the first choice therapy for children with psoriasis. Systemic agents are used to treat more severe cases. Patient education and supportive care should be incorporated into the treatment plan.
儿童中可见多种银屑病变体，最常见的类型包括斑块状、点滴状和银屑病尿布疹；脓疱型和红皮病型银屑病较少见。遗传易感性和环境触发因素均与这种自身免疫性疾病的发生有关。除了改善症状外，治疗方案应努力识别并消除诱发因素。外用药物是儿童银屑病的首选治疗方法。全身性药物用于治疗更严重的病例。患者教育和支持性护理应纳入治疗方案。
