Article Synopsis
- Long-term management of psoriasis is crucial but challenging; the PSO-LONG trial showed that a combination treatment of betamethasone dipropionate and calcipotriol foam, applied twice a week for a year, can reduce relapses but still needs further investigation for long-term use.
- In the ProActive Management (PAM) program, experts reached consensus on 14 out of 18 statements, recognizing the importance of proactive topical treatments to minimize relapse risk, especially for resistant disease sites or when other therapies are not suitable.
- Establishing proactive strategies in treatment guidelines is seen as vital for improving the management of mild to moderate psoriasis, while more research on patient adherence is necessary.
