Psoriasis knowledge gaps and misconceptions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions: patients' survey-based study.

This study reports knowledge gaps in a cohort of Arabic-speaking psoriasis patients, especially regarding areas of extracutaneous involvement, the hereditary nature of the disease, and the effect of psoriasis on pregnancy and fertility. Most participants were unaware that biological therapy and a change in diet do not offer a permanent cure. Dermatologists in our region must reach out to their patients and correct the various misconceptions reported in this study.
