2. What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a noncontagious, chronic skin condition that produces
plaques of thickened, scaling skin. The dry flakes of skin scales result
from the excessively rapid proliferation of skin cells. The proliferation of
skin cells is triggered by inflammatory chemicals produced by
specialized white blood cells called lymphocytes. Psoriasis commonly
affects the skin of the elbows, knees, and scalp.
The spectrum of disease ranges from mild with limited involvement of
small areas of skin to large, thick plaques to red inflamed skin affecting
the entire body surface.
Psoriasis is considered an incurable, long-term (chronic) inflammatory
skin condition. It has a variable course, periodically improving and
worsening. It is not unusual for psoriasis to spontaneously clear for
years and stay in remission. Many people note a worsening of their
symptoms in the colder winter months.
4. The most common symptoms of
psoriasis include:
• Red patches of skin
• Scaly, sometimes silvery, skin patches
• itchy skin
• joint swelling, stiffness, or pain
5. Types of Psoriasis
• Plaque Psoriasis
• Guttate Psoriasis
• Flexural or inverse Psoriasis
• Pustular Psoriasis
• Psoriatic arthritis
• Erythrodermic Psoriasis
• Nail Psoriasis
• Scalp psoriasis
6. Plaque psoriasis
Plaque psoriasis, or psoriasis vulgaris, is the most
common form of psoriasis. An estimated 85 percent of
people with psoriasis have plaque psoriasis. It’s
characterized by thick red patches of skin, often with a
silver or white scaly layer. These patches often appear on
the:
• knees
• Elbows
• lower back
• scalp
8. Guttate Psoriasis
Guttate psoriasis appears in small red spots on the
skin. It’s the second most common type, affecting
10 percent of people with psoriasis. Most of the
time it starts during childhood or young adulthood.
The spots are small, separate, and drop-shaped.
They often appear on the torso and limbs, but they
can also appear on your face and scalp. Spots are
usually not as thick as plaque psoriasis, but they can
develop into plaque psoriasis over time.
10. Flexural or Inverse Psoriasis
Flexural or inverse psoriasis often appears in
skinfolds, such as under the breasts or in the
armpits or groin area. This type of psoriasis is
red, and often shiny and smooth.
The sweat and moisture from skinfolds keeps
this form of psoriasis from shedding skin scales.
Sometimes it’s misdiagnosed as a fungal or
bacterial infection. The skin-on-skin contact can
make inverse psoriasis very uncomfortable.
12. Pustular psoriasis:
Pustular psoriasis may affect isolated areas of the body, like the hands and
feet, or cover most of the skin’s surface. These pustules can also join together
and scaling occurs.
Some people experience cyclic periods of pustules and remission. While the
pus is noninfectious, this condition can cause flu-like symptoms such as:
• Fever
• Chills
• rapid pulse
• muscle weakness
• loss of appetite
There are three kinds of pustular psoriasis
• von Zumbusch
• Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP)
• Acropustulosis
14. Psoriatic Arthritis:
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a painful and physically
limiting condition that affects up to one-third of
those with psoriasis. There are five types of PsA
with varying symptoms. There is also no cure for
this type of psoriasis.
16. Erythrodermic Psoriasis:
Erythrodermic psoriasis, or exfoliated psoriasis,
is a rare psoriasis type that looks like severe
burns. The condition is serious, and can be a
medical emergency. You may need
hospitalization because your body may not be
able to control body temperature.
18. Nail psoriasis
Although not an official type of psoriasis, nail psoriasis is a
manifestation of psoriasis. The condition can often be
confused with fungal infections and other infections of the
nail.
Nail psoriasis can cause:
• Nail Pitting
• Grooves
• Discoloration
• loosening or crumbling of the nail
• thickened skin under the nail
• colored patches or spots under the nail
20. Scalp Psoriasis
Scalp psoriasis is common in people with plaque
psoriasis. For some people, it may cause severe
dandruff. For others, it can be painful, itchy, and
very noticeable at the hairline. Scalp psoriasis
can extend to the neck, face, and ears in one
large patch or many smaller patches.
22. Self-care for Psoriasis
Although there is no one cure for any form of
psoriasis, remission and significant healing is
possible. Your doctor will work with you to
create a treatment plan that helps manage your
condition. You can also take steps at home to
manage psoriasis.
