- Abstract
Psoriasis is an inflammatory and chronic skin condition that affects 2% to 3% of the adult population, occurring before the age of 18 in about 30% of cases. The pediatric age group can also fall victim to stigmatization due to skin lesions and represents a population at risk for psychiatric, metabolic, and social issues. Treatment can be challenging, relying on topical or systemic medications. However, the use of biologics in children is mostly based on adult experience and should be reserved for specific cases. A clinical case report is presented here, involving a pediatric patient with psoriasis and stigmatizing facial lesions, who showed a favorable response to use of the biologic Etanercept, but who discontinued treatment after the gestational period, resuming the use of ustekinumab after lactation. The study highlights the importance of the patient's physical and emotional well-being and suggests that the combination of multiple risk situations and ongoing traumas can contribute to the disruption of developmental stages and the acquisition of skills necessary for learning and performing social roles. In this study, we also discuss the possibilities of treating psoriasis during the pregnancypuerperal cycle
