Did you know there are different types of psoriasis?
Psoriasis isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a chronic skin condition with several forms—each with its own appearance and symptoms. Here’s a quick breakdown:
🔴 Plaque Psoriasis
The most common type. Appears as raised, red patches covered with silvery-white scales. Often found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and back.
🔵 Guttate Psoriasis
Looks like small, red spots—usually triggered by infections (like strep throat). It’s more common in children and young adults.
⚪ Inverse Psoriasis
Smooth, red, shiny lesions that appear in skin folds (like underarms, groin, or under the breasts). It can be painful and worsens with friction or sweat.
🟣 Pustular Psoriasis
White pustules (blisters of non-infectious pus) surrounded by red skin. It can be localized (on hands/feet) or generalized across the body.
⚫ Erythrodermic Psoriasis (Rare & Severe)
A widespread redness, scaling, and shedding of the skin. It can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
🧴 Every case is unique—so treatment should be too. If you or someone you know is struggling with psoriasis, a dermatologist can help create a personalized care plan.
