Psoriasis in HIV-positive patients

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly patches due to an overactive immune response. In HIV-positive patients, the immune system is weakened, which can lead to changes in how psoriasis manifests. While some may experience flare-ups, others might see a reduction in symptoms due to altered immune responses. Managing psoriasis in HIV-positive individuals requires careful coordination of treatments to ensure that both the skin condition and HIV are effectively controlled. Regular monitoring by healthcare providers is essential to optimize patient care and minimize complications.
