ABSTRACT
Pediatric psoriasis (PsO) and its associated comorbidities carry physical and psychosocial burdens in children and adolescents, which can negatively impact quality of life. However, features distinguishing pediatric PsO from eczema and other common inflammatory skin diseases may not be obvious to primary care providers, which may contribute to underrecognition and misdiagnosis. Accurate diagnosis of pediatric PsO is critical for managing the physical and psychological burdens associated with this disease. This review aims to support pediatricians with enough information to confidently diagnose pediatric PsO, assess associated physical and mental health comorbidities, and recommend first-line treatment options for children with mild to moderate PsO. To accomplish this, we provide information that distinguishes the appearance and symptoms of pediatric PsO from other common pediatric skin conditions. In addition, comorbidities and some of the mental health challenges associated with pediatric PsO are reviewed to help pediatricians provide appropriate care for patients in their clinical practice.
