What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by clearly defined, red and scaly plaques. It is classified into various types.
Types of psoriasis
Psoriasis is of different types depending on the region where it occurs and its presentation on your body
- Guttate psoriasis
- Plaque psoriasis
- Nail psoriasis
- Inverse psoriasis
- Pustular psoriasis
- Erythrodermic psoriasis
- Scalp psoriasis
- Plaque psoriasis
The most common type of psoriasis, plaque psoriasis causes dry, itchy, raised skin patches (plaques) covered with scales. There may be few or many. They usually appear on the elbows, knees, lower back and scalp. The patches vary in color, depending on skin color. The affected skin might heal with temporary changes in color (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
· Guttate psoriasis
Guttate psoriasis primarily affects young adults and children. It’s usually triggered by a bacterial infection such as strep throat. It’s marked by small, drop-shaped, scaling spots on the trunk, arms or legs.
- Nail psoriasis
Nail psoriasis, also known as psoriatic nail dystrophy, is due to psoriasis involving the nail matrix or nail bed, resulting in specific and non-specific clinical changes in the nail.
- Inverse psoriasis
Inverse psoriasis mainly affects the skin folds of the groin, buttocks and breasts. It causes smooth patches of inflamed skin that worsen with friction and sweating. Fungal infections may trigger this type of psoriasis.
- Pustular psoriasis
Pustular psoriasis, a rare type, causes clearly defined pus-filled blisters. It can occur in widespread patches or on small areas of the palms or soles.
- Erythrodermic psoriasis
The least common type of psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis can cover the entire body with a peeling rash that can itch or burn intensely. It can be short-lived (acute) or long-term (chronic).
- Scalp psoriasis
Scalp psoriasis is a skin condition characterised by red, thickened, well-demarcated patches or plaques with overlying silvery-white scales, affecting part or all of the scalp.
