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.

  Most of the time it starts during childhood or
  young adulthood.
• The spots are small, separate, and drop-shaped.

  psoriasis, but they can develop into plaque
  psoriasis over time.

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 its misdiagnosed as a fungal or
  bacterial infection. The skin-on-skin contact can
  make inverse psoriasis very uncomfortable.

Pustular psoriasis

• Pustular psoriasis may affect isolated areas of
  the body, like the hands and feet, or cover most
  of the skins 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
