Managing an adolescent with psoriasis involves managing the illness and the individual during their transition from being an older child to a young adult. In addition to ensuring that the patient adheres to treatments and is engaged with the therapeutic strategy, dermatologists may also need to manage issues linked to unspoken suffering or conflicts between the adolescent and their parents, who are often present during consultations. The impact of psoriasis on the social interactions, school life and sexuality of the patients, together with the influence of the internet and social networks, also have to be taken into account. In this review, we summarize the epidemiologic, clinical, and therapeutic data available on psoriasis in adolescents, and propose specific management strategies, adapted to the 21st century, for patients in this age group.Keywords: psoriasis, adolescent, treatment, biotherapies, acitretin, methotrexate, proactive treatmentMahé EDove Medical Pressarticlepsoriasisadolescenttreatmentbiotherapiesacitretinmethotrexateproactive treatmentDermatologyRL1-803ENPsoriasis: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 10, Pp 45-56 (2020)
