Self-management experiences in adults with mild–moderate psoriasis: an exploratory study and implications for improved support

摘要

SummaryBackground Psoriasis is a long-term condition affecting 2–3% of the population. The mainstay of treatment for mild–moderate disease is the regular application of topical medication by the individual. At present little is known about how people with psoriasis self-manage and how they may best be supported in this endeavour.
