Abstract
Psoriasis is a common, chronic, and recurrent inflammatory disease characterized by heritability, phenotypic variability and possible association to psoriatic arthritis and metabolic syndrome. Psoriasis is considered as a hyperproliferative disorder, but this increased proliferation of keratino cytes is the result of a cascade of immunologic reactions driven by inflammatory mediator cells and cytokines. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 210 successive cases, who attended the OPD with papulosquamous disorders were taken. Data was collected after obtaining a written informed consentfrom the patient. A detailed clinical history was taken and a complete examination of skin lesions wasdone. In this study comprising of 210 cases, 44.3% had psoriasis, 36.7% had lichen planus, 14.3% hadpityriasis rosea, 2.9% had lichen nitidus and 0.9% each had lichen striatus and pityrias is lichenoides chronica.
