Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the skin and joints, characterized by abnormalities in keratinocytes. This condition, affecting 2-3% of the global population, profoundly impacts quality of life and requires early diagnosis and effective management. The article focuses on the review of the etiopathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic approaches, including diagnostic innovations and treatment strategies. Using a comprehensive literature review with data from databases such as PubMed, SciELO, LILACS and Google Scholar, the study highlights the influence of genetic factors, such as HLA-Cw6, and environmental factors, such as stress and obesity, in the pathogenesis of the disease. Diagnosis is essentially clinical, sometimes requiring biopsy, and treatment ranges from topical to biological therapies, the latter targeting specific cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-17 and IL-23. Despite advances, high costs and the need for monitoring are persistent challenges. The research emphasizes the need for an individualized and multidisciplinary therapeutic approach, pointing to the future development of treatments such as JAK inhibitors and advances in personalized medicine for more effective and safer strategies. Continued research is vital to improve clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life.
