Psoriasis, a prevalent chronic inflammatory disorder, exhibits diverse clinical manifestations, among which Verrucous Psoriasis (VP) stands out as a rare and distinctive variant. Characterized by warty, hypertrophic lesions, VP often poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its overlapping features with other skin conditions. This review aims to provide an updated synthesis of the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, histopathological features, and treatment modalities for VP, highlighting the need for increased awareness and research in this area.
