Special features:
Red, smooth, shiny patches
Worsened by heat, sweating, and friction
Increased risk of fungal infections
Here, there’s no typical flaking, but a constant irritation. Like the feeling of prolonged rubbing of wet clothes on already sensitized skin.
Pustular psoriasis: when the skin becomes inflamed
Less common, this type is striking: white blisters filled with pus (non-infectious) appear, surrounded by red, sensitive skin. It can be localized (hands, feet) or generalized.
Signs to watch for:
Presence of painful pustules
Sometimes accompanied by fever and chills
Rapid medical consultation is essential
This is a warning signal from the body that should not be ignored.
Erythrodermic psoriasis: the rarest, but also the most dangerous
