Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease with complex interplay between genetic and environment factors. Psoriasis in children is very rare, it needs more attention and good handling because it may affect the quality of life of children both physically and psychologically. Increasing epidemiological evidence suggests that patients with psoriasis may be more obese compared with the general population. The exact mechanism underlying the association between psoriasis and obesity is uncertain. However it was theorized that adipocyte elaboration of pro-inflammatory cytokines may exacerbate psoriasis.
