💜 Rare Disease Day – February 28

More than 300 million people worldwide live with a rare disease — that’s about 1 in 25 people.

Many know the most common form of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris), which causes itchy, flaky skin patches. But psoriatic disease is a spectrum, with several lesser-known and serious forms. Around 3% of people with psoriasis develop pustular psoriasis, including:

- Generalised pustular psoriasis (GPP): a rare, potentially life-threatening condition causing widespread redness, pain, and peeling skin.

- Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP): painful pustules on the palms and soles.

- Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH): affects the fingers, toes, and nails.

Other rare, severe forms include:

- Erythrodermic psoriasis: covers most of the body with fiery red, sore skin and can affect temperature and heart rate.

- Arthritis mutilans: a severe, deforming type of psoriatic arthritis.

This , we stand with everyone living across the psoriatic disease spectrum, and with their families, friends, and caregivers. 💜
