Abstract
The skin and appendages is one of the first things in which people repair their social relationships as an alteration of these can influence the image and in multiple aspects of the subject’s life. Psoriasis is a chronic, relapsing skin disease that
produces a marked reduction in the quality of life. Phototherapy, especially in form of narrow-band UVB is an alternative treatment
of choice in plaque psoriasis and psoriasis of moderate extent. Also, regarding the impact of such treatment on quality
of life of patients with psoriasis, there are few studies analyzing this effect.
