Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disorder typically characterized by inflamed, edematous skin lesions covered with a silvery white scale. Plaque psoriasis is the most common type and is characterized by symmetric patches on the scalp, trunk, and limbs. The most common sites are the extensor surfaces of the limbs. Guttate psoriasis is characterized by small red dots and frequently appears after an upper respiratory infection. Nail psoriasis may cause pits in the nails, which may become yellow and thickened, eventually separating from the nail bed. Psoriatic arthritis affects approximately 10% of those with skin symptoms. The arthritis is usually in the hands, feet, and larger joints. It produces stiffness, pain, and progressive joint damage. Psoriatic lesions may demonstrate Auspitz sign (slight scratching of the scaly lesions revealing punctate bleeding points) or Koebner phenomenon (lesions occurring in areas of irritation/ scratching, such as the pant line). The diagnosis is usually clinical. If there is a questionable diagnosis, a punch biopsy may be performed. Treatment options include PUVA, topical retinoids, and cytotoxic agents such as methotrexate and cyclosporine. Remember 👇 ■ Extensor surfaces ■ Silver scales on an erythematous base ■ Symmetric ■ Auspitz sign ■ Koebner phenomenon ■ Abnormal T lymphocyte function

Treatment can only improve not cute psoriasis via removing the scales even not completely and decreasing proliferation of basal cell layer.
