Psoriasis, inflammatory disease with unknown and multifactorial etiology, is a frequent and chronic inflammatory dermatosis. Its wide clinical variety and evolution, patients' personal background, and type and extension of injuries, determine its severity. A new way of approaching these cases, with a multidisciplinary scope describing multiple risk factors that aggravate the prognosis, it is expected that more often we can relate it to the metabolic syndrome (obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, etc.), thus allowing us to define its impact in a better quality of life.
