ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.

Overview

Psoriasis is a common skin condition affecting up to 3% of people, and about 30% of cases start in childhood. This review examines the effectiveness and side effects of topical treatments for psoriasis in children. Topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs (calcitriol and calcipotriol), and calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus) were effective, with clearance rates ranging from 50% to over 80%. Dithranol also showed improvement in some studies. While these treatments are safe and readily available, they may cause irritation and require frequent application. The review recommends trying topical treatments first before moving to systemic medications.
