Abstract: A persistent long-standing, inflammatory skin condition that is brought on by a variety
of factors is psoriasis. It is distinguished by itchy, scaly, reddish plaques, particularly on areas of
the body that are frequently chafed, including the extensor sites of the limbs. Recent developments
in molecular-targeted therapy that use biologics or small-molecule inhibitors can effectively
cure even the worst psoriatic indications. The outstanding clinical outcomes of treatment help to
clarify the disease's detrimental consequences on quality of life. Biomarkers that identify deep remission
are essential for developing uniform treatment plans. Blood protein markers such as
AMPs that are consistently quantifiable can be very helpful in routine clinical practice. The
metabolic pathways involve biomarkers that can not only help diagnose psoriasis in a clinical setting
but also indicate its severity based on the levels present in the body. Machine learning and AI
have made a diagnosis of the expression of genes as biomarkers more accessible. In this article,
biomarkers, as well as their key role in psoriasis, are discussed.
