年輕人的上肢及背部明顯的乾癬症狀
乾癬（英語：psoriasis，英語發音：/sɵˈraɪ.əsɨs/，又稱白疕）是一種長期疾病，主要特色是在身上出現一塊一塊異常的皮膚[1]。通常，這些塊狀皮膚異常會發紅、發癢、以及脫屑。乾癬的症狀輕自小片的病變、大至影響全身皮膚[2]，皮膚的傷害可能會誘發傷口處發生乾癬病變，稱作寇柏納現象[3]。乾癬患者罹患乾癬性關節炎、淋巴癌、心血管疾病、克隆氏症以及憂鬱症的機會都較高[4]。約有30%的乾癬患者患有乾癬性關節炎[5]。
乾癬可以分為五大型：斑塊狀、點滴狀、皮褶性、膿皰狀與紅皮狀[1]。斑塊狀乾癬又被叫做尋常乾癬，約有90%的患者屬於這一類，患部通常是上面有白色皮屑的紅色班塊，最常出現在上臂、小腿前側、肚臍週圍以及頭皮[4]；點滴狀乾癬的患部呈水滴狀[1]；膿皰狀乾癬的患部則是非感染性的膿皰[5]；皮褶狀乾癬的患部也是紅色斑塊，但發生在皮膚皺褶處[1]；紅皮狀乾癬指的則是患部的範圍變得非常廣，它可能由任何種類的乾癬發展而來。多數患者的指甲與趾甲在乾癬的病程中會受到影響，症狀包括凹陷或顏色變化[4]。
乾癬目前被認為是一種會被環境因素誘發的遺傳性疾病[2]。同卵雙胞胎都發生乾癬的機會比異卵雙胞胎高3倍。通常，乾癬的症狀在冬季與使用特定藥物（如乙型交感神經接受體阻斷劑或非類固醇消炎止痛藥）情形下會更嚴重[4]。感染與心理壓力也可能有影響[2][1]。乾癬不會感染，它背後的原因是免疫系統對皮膚細胞發動攻擊。乾癬的診斷主要依靠症狀與徵象[4]。
目前乾癬尚無法完全治癒，但有許多治療手段能控制症狀[4]，包括類固醇軟膏、膽鈣化醇軟膏、紫外線光照治療、以及氨甲蝶呤等免疫抑制劑[1]。有75%的乾癬患者的症狀可以單靠使用藥膏控制[4]。乾癬的盛行率約為2-4%[6]，女性與男性患病的機會相等[1]。
