AB  - KEY  POINTSPsoriasis  occurs  worldwide  and  its  prevalence  differs  among  racial  groups.  Certain  racial  groups  may  also  be  more  genetically  predisposed  to  develop  psoriasis.Higher  prevalences  seem  to  be  found  in  Scandinavia  (3%  to  4.8%),  Malaysia  (4%  to  5%),  East  Africa  (1.25%  to  3%),  and  South  Africa  (4%  to  5%),  and  lower  prevalences  are  seen  in  West  Africans  (0.3%  to  0.8%),  African  Americans  (0.45%  to  1.3%),  Southeast  Asians  (0.4%  to  2.3%),  Indians  and  East  Asians  (~0.3%),  and  the  indigenous  populations  of  the  Americas  (nearly  absent).The  clinical  features  of  psoriasis  are  similar  across  racial  groups;  however,  darker  skin  phototypes  show  a  tendency  toward  violaceous  plaques,  gray  scale,  and  postinflammatory  dyspigmentation.The  treatment  of  psoriasis  is  similar  across  racial  groups.  Traditional  medicine  is  used  by  certain  populations.
