    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to assess the self-care practices of patients with psoriasis and factors affecting them.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 110 adult patients with confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis. Each patient underwent a personal structured interview with the physician using two predetermined questionnaires, one for assessing self-care practices and another for evaluating patients' knowledge of their disease and sociodemographic and clinical features.
    Results: Most studied patients had poor level of self-care practices and knowledge. Patients' level of self-care was positively associated with the level of the knowledge of their disease. Poor level of self-care practice was significantly associated with low level of education, disease severity, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score.
    Conclusion: Patients with low level of education or disease knowledge will mostly have poor self-care behavior.

    Abstract Abstract: Cutaneous sarcoidosis occurs in about one-quarter of patients with systemic disease and presents with either specific or nonspecific signs. Psoriasiform sarcoidosis is an uncommon presentation. Herein, study authors report a rare case of systemic sarcoidosis that presented with psoriasiform plaques and patchy alopecia. The main patient complaint was disfigurement from skin lesions over different areas of his body, followed by scalp alopecia and uveitis. These lesions were well-defined plaques, some oozing and others scaly. Dermoscopic examination revealed yellow-orange globular structure. A biopsy was taken; the eventual diagnosis was sarcoidosis, for which the patient received treatment with systemic steroids, resulting in improvement of all of his lesions. Physicians should suspect sarcoidosis in any patient presenting with psoriasiform skin lesions not responding to traditional psoriasis treatment.
