Psoriasis Assessment Tools

Psoriasis assessment tools are standardized methods used by healthcare providers to evaluate the severity and extent of psoriasis, a chronic skin condition. These tools help in measuring factors like the percentage of skin affected, redness, scaling, and thickness of lesions. Common tools include the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). They enable precise monitoring of disease progression and response to treatment, facilitating personalized care and improving communication between patients and doctors.
