Popis: Verrucous psoriasis (VP) is a rare histologic variant of psoriasis. To date, fewer than 40 cases have been reported, with pediatric cases representing an exceedingly small fraction. Treatment options are limited, and the disease is often refractory to conventional methods. Herein, we report a case of VP in an adolescent male which previously failed biologic and systemic therapy with adalimumab and acitretin, respectively, ultimately responding with great success to ixekizumab in combination with topical corticosteroids. J Drugs Dermatol. 2022;21(8):891-893. doi:10.36849/JDD.6626R1.
