Patients with psoriasis constituted 0.8% of all (9806) new cases seen in two skin clinics in Northern Nigeria in five years. The findings on proportional rates, age and sex distribution and clinical characteristics of psoriasis in Nigerians are compared with those of other areas of Africa. The proportional rate of psoriasis in Northern Nigeria appears to be lower than that observed in East Africa.
