Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune skin disease that can affect children, adolescents, and adults. Although adult psoriasis and pediatric psoriasis are similar, effective management of pediatric psoriasis is more challenging owing to limited treatments approved for children. Although topical corticosteroids continue to be the mainstay of pediatric psoriasis treatment, there is an increase in biologics use owing to the more frequent and severe adverse events associated with the long-term use of topical corticosteroids in children. Use of conventional systemics also appears to be on the decline, further underscoring a growing need for treatments with more-acceptable safety profiles.
