Psoriasis is common, chronic and currently incurable. First-line therapies consist of topical preparations, the most recent of which include vitamin D3 and retinoid analogues. New approaches to phototherapy include narrow band ultraviolet B and photodynamic therapy. Considerable research is currently focused on immunomodulatory approaches to this disease.
