Conclusions - I
• Psoriasis is usually easy to diagnose and can be distinguished from other papulosquamous diseases
• Appropriate management includes a categorization about the need for topical v. phototherapy v. systemic therapy
• Most patients with extensive psoriasis should be referred for specialized dermatological care

Conclusions - II
• Psoriasis is a systemic disease with associations beyond arthritis including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerotic vascular disease
• Smoking confers an increase risk of psoriasis.• Interventions aimed at weight reduction,
smoking cessation, control of hypertension, etc. might be beneficial for control of psoriasis along with improved survival

Lichen planus
• Is a non infectious immunological mediated skin disorder.
• It is a disorder in which lymphocytes attack the epidermis.
• It can be associated with autoimmune disorders such alopecia areata, ulcerative collitis.

Aetiology.
• It is unknown.• Drugs can cause it-
streptomycin,chloroquine,methyldopa,phenothiazine.
• It has also been linked to ,bone marrow transplant,hepatitis B infection,exposure to colour film in colour film developers.

Clinical features.• Typical itchy papules, demarcated by skin lines on
the extremeties especially the volar aspects.• White streaky pattern on the surface of the
papules (wickham’s striae).• It occurs on joint flexures especially the wrists,
genitals, inner thighs.• Koebner’s phenomenon is also present.• Neighbouring papules may join together to form
plaques that resembles lichen growing on trees.• White lacy plaques in the mouth.

disabling.
