ABSTRACT
Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease. It affects
all age groups; however, it is rare in children. The aim is
to present the case of an infant patient and report on the
management of psoriasis in pediatric patients.
Clinical case: Four-month-old female patient, who started her condition
at two months, with the appearance of scaly erythematous
plaques, which progressively affected most of the body
surface. In histopathological analysis of skin biopsy, psoriasis
vulgaris was confirmed, so treatment with topical calcipotriol
was started, and after one month, significant improvement
was observed.
Conclusion: Since psoriasis vulgaris is a very rare condition in infants, there is little evidence to recommend any specific treatment.
