Abstract: Round plaques covered in silvery white micaceous scales and erythematous, strongly delineated papules are the clinical features of psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition. It impacts between 1% to 3% of the global populace. Even with recent significant progress in the treatment of psoriasis, the condition is still incurable. The disease activity is unaffected by current treatment, and relapse happens fast when medication is stopped. Furthermore, there are side effects connected to the systemic and topical conventional medicines used to treat psoriasis. In Unani system of medicine, psoriasis is known as Taqashshur al-Jild, which is caused by preponderance of black bile and defined by scaling of skin. Psoriasis can be efficiently managed with a variety of topical and systemic Unani preparations.
