Abstract
Genital psoriasis presents as erythematous plaques with variable scaling and symptoms such as pruritus, burning, and dyspareunia, which can significantly affect the quality of life, psychological well-being, and sexual health of affected patients. It is estimated that approximately 1.2-2.5% of the population has psoriasis; however, genital involvement is not widely described and may be underestimated, as these areas are often not actively questioned or assessed during the clinical examination. This article aims to explore the clinical aspects of genital psoriasis, including its prevalence, impact on sexual health, and treatment options.
