Overview
Psoriasis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause an erythematous, scaly rash such as cutaneous T cell lymphoma/mycosis fungoides, pityriasis rosea, pityriasis rubra pilaris, pityriasis lichenoides chronica, nummular dermatitis, secondary syphilis, Bowen’s disease, exanthematous pustulosis, hypertrophic lichen planus, Sneddon–Wilkinson disease, small plaque parapsoriasis, intertrigo, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, dyshidrotic dermatitis, tinea manuum/pedum/capitis, and seborrheic dermatitis.
Differentiating psoriasis from other diseases
Differential diagnosis of psoriasis
- Psoriasis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause papulosquamous or erythematosquamous rash, especially when the psoriatic lesions are localized in such sites as the palms, soles, scalp, body folds, penis, and nails. The differential diagnosis of psoriasis includes:

Differential diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis must be differentiated from other diseases causing oligo/polyarthritis or arthritis of the axial skeleton, including:
