It can be characterized by evaluating the sign and symptoms and level of disease severity. The chances to develop other diseases in psoriasis are more common. We are focusing on the basic fundamentals of psoriasis as well as their treatment and management. Psoriasis is diagnosed on the basis of physical examination of the body including patient history, skin biopsy, Psoriasis Area Severity Index and Surface Area measurement of our body. The level of severity from mild, moderate and severe can be identified by these tests. However, the main fact that is important to deal with the patients is the prevalence and current scenario of psoriasis.
