Vulval psoriasis can go unrecognised for over a decade: Aussie study
Dermatologists say PBS rules interfere with optimal treatment.
Women with psoriasis should be proactively screened for genital symptoms, dermatologists suggest, after a study found an 11-year lag between symptom onset and diagnosis of vulval disease.
The study revealed vulval psoriasis was underdiagnosed and undertreated, leading to emotional distress, sexual dysfunction and feelings of shame among women.
