In the C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, it is about 0.75% of dermatology cases. Psoriasis care is challenging in elderly patients.

The average age was 67 \u00b1 1 years ranging from 60 to 85 years. The sex ratio was 1 : 9 in favor of men. The average time course of psoriasis was 25 \u00b1 2 months. Comorbidity was found in 27 cases (57.5%). The most observed type of psoriasis in our study was chronic plaque psoriasis in 51.1% of cases. We found severe cases of psoriasis in 25.5% of cases. More than 10% of the body surface area was affected in 27.6% of cases. We used topical treatments in the majority of cases (83%). The course of psoriasis under treatment was good in 63.8% of cases, and only 6.4% of cases were worsening.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Topical agents could be the first\u2010line treatment in geriatric patients in poor countries.
