A study involving 19 women dermatologists from Croatia discusses pain in psoriasis patients. Findings revealed that while most dermatologists recognize pain, the matter is not often adequately addressed. Opinions varied on the significance of pain in psoriasis, but there was agreement on the need for better differentiation between skin and joint pain and enhanced education for physicians. The study concluded that focusing more on psoriasis-related pain is crucial for effective treatment and improving patient quality of life.
