Psoriasis is one of the most stern and persistent autoimmune disease which affects about 1-3% population around the globe. It influences an individual’s life quality by hindering them physically, socially and emotionally. The hyperproliferation of keratinocytes leads to excessive growth of skin cell which causes scaling and formation of plaques. Psoriasis can be mild moderate or severe depending on the percentage of skin area affected. Based on severity of the disease, location and the type of psoriasis, the treatment approaches can vary. Treatment regimens for psoriasis include topical therapies, systemic therapies and phototherapy. Conventional drug delivery approaches face various disadvantages therefore a need for better novel drug delivery system is required. The review paper focuses at providing a broad aspect of psoriasis and the novel treatment approaches which can help in tackling the disease.
