** Premycotic phase: A scaly, red rash in areas of the body that usually are not exposed to the sun. This rash does not cause symptoms and may last for months or years. | |||
** Patch phase: Thin, reddened, eczema -like rash. | |||
** Plaque phase: Small raised bumps (papules) or hardened lesions on the skin, which may be reddened. | |||
** Tumor phase: Tumors form on the skin. These tumors may develop ulcers and the skin may get infected. | |||
| | |||
* Generalized itching (pruritus) | |||
* Pain in the affected area of the skin. | |||
* Insomnia | |||
* Red (erythematous) patches scattered over the skin of the trunk and the extremities | |||

Overview
Differentiating Psoriasis from other Diseases
- Psoriasis must be differentiated from other diseases causing papulosquamous or erythematosquamous rash especially when the psoriatic lesions are localized in particular sites for example, palms, soles, scalp, body folds, penis and nails.
- The differentials include:
- 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
- Seborrheic dermatitis
| Disease | Rash Characteristics | Signs and Symptoms | Associated Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cutaneous T cell lymphoma/Mycosis fungoides[1] |
|
|
|
| Pityriasis rosea[2] |
|
|
|
| Pityriasis lichenoides chronica |
