Abstract

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated chronic recurrent disease with mainly cutaneous manifestations. Although it manifests itself in a mild way in most patients, it can cause physical, social, or psychological disability in some people, having a significant impact on the quality of their lives. There have been important advances in the treatment of psoriasis in the last years, specially in the field of biologic therapies. New highly effective treatments targeting different intermediaries involved on the onset of psoriasis have been developed, but psoriasis still remains an incurable disease.
