| Description: |
AbstractObjectives and methods: Topical therapy is the first-line treatment in mild and moderate psoriasis. We performed a real-life study on topical therapies in psoriasis and observed a variation in the amounts of ointment patients applied during the study. Results: A statistically significant correlation was found between gender and the total amount of ointment used: women used more than men (p = .020). Also, heavier patients tended to use less ointment (p = .038). Conclusions: We look forward to seeing whether the current pressure to improve psoriasis treatment leads to more patients receiving systemic therapies or to better adherence to, and persistence with, topical therapies. see all
