Types of Psoriasis
Plaque psoriasis:
Plaque psoriasis, or psoriasis vulgaris, is the most common form of psoriasis. An estimated 80 to 90 percent of people with psoriasis have plaque psoriasis. It’s characterized by thick red patches of skin, often with a silver or white scaly layer.
Guttate psoriasis:
Guttate psoriasis appears in small red spots on the skin. It’s the second most common type, affecting around 8 percent of people with psoriasis. Most of the time it starts during childhood or young adulthood. The spots are small, separate, and drop-shaped. They often appear on the torso and limbs, but they can also appear on your face and scalp. Spots are usually not as thick as plaque 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 it’s misdiagnosed as a fungal or bacterial infection. The skin-on-skin contact can make inverse psoriasis very uncomfortable. Most people with inverse psoriasis also have a different form of psoriasis in other places on the body.
Pustular psoriasis:
Pustular psoriasis is a severe form of psoriasis. It develops fast in the form of many white pustules surrounded by red skin. Pustular psoriasis may affect isolated areas of the body, like the hands and feet, or cover most of the skin’s surface. These pustules can also join together and form scaling. Some people experience cyclic periods of pustules and remission.
Erythrodermic psoriasis:
Erythrodermic psoriasis, or exfoliative psoriasis, is a rare psoriasis type that looks like severe burns. The condition is serious, and can be a medical emergency. You may need hospitalization because your body may not be able to control body temperature. This form of psoriasis is widespread, red, and scaly. It may cover large portions of the body. Exfoliation often occurs in larger pieces than the small scales typical to most psoriasis.
Psoriatic arthritis:
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a painful and physically limiting condition that affects between 30 and 33 percent of people with psoriasis. There are five types of PsA with varying symptoms. There is also no cure for this condition. Because psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, it can trigger the body to attack the joints and the skin. It can affect many joints and often becomes quite severe in the hands. Skin symptoms usually appear before joint symptoms
Nail psoriasis:
Although not an official type of psoriasis, nail psoriasis is a manifestation of psoriasis. The condition can often be confused with fungal infections and other infections of the nail.
Scalp psoriasis:
Scalp psoriasis is common in people with plaque psoriasis. For some people, it may cause severe dandruff. For others, it can be painful, itchy, and very noticeable at the hairline. Scalp psoriasis can extend to the neck, face, and ears in one large patch or many smaller patches. In some cases, scalp psoriasis can complicate regular hair hygiene. Excessive scratching can cause hair loss and scalp infections. The condition may also cause feelings of social stress.
