Psoriasis appears in several forms. The scaly, papule kind called plaque psoriasis is the most common. Other forms include guttate psoriasis, typified by small, dotlike lesions all over the body; pustular psoriasis, with weeping lesions and intense scaling; and erythro – dermic psoriasis, characterized by severe sloughing and inflammation of the skin. Psoriasis can range from mild to moderate to severe and disabling.
Sadly, there is no cure for psoriasis, but there are many different treatments, both topical and systemic, that can be added to your skin-care routine to obtain optimal results. Experimenting with a variety of options is essential to find the treatment that works for you, but all of them require a doctor’s attention.
