In November 2019, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) released their recommendations regarding management of psoriasis in pediatric patients. The guidelines include information on quantification of disease severity, identification of triggers, assessment of comorbidities, and therapeutics specific to children with psoriasis. This review aims to highlight the most clinically significant considerations for dermatologists when managing pediatric psoriasis.
