Patients Whose Psoriasis Affects Less Than 10% Of Body Surface Area May Still Have Severe Cases, Expert Says.

Healio (8/24, Laday) reported that according to a panelist at the Rheumatology Nurses Society Annual Conference, patients who have "psoriasis affecting less than 10% body surface area can be considered severe cases," particularly if they have "psoriatic arthritis." Melodie S. Young, MSN, RN, ANP-C, a nurse practitioner at Modern Dermatology-Aesthetics Center in the Baylor Health Care System, stated, "They can have a little bit of psoriasis and have comorbidities with the disease, even if they have a small amount of skin demonstrating psoriasis." She added, "It can also still have a massive impact on their quality of life. ... Every 1% can be important, and you always have to think about that in terms of the patient."
