Understanding the Types of Psoriasis

Did you know there is more than one type of Psoriasis? In fact, there are five different types, all of which are treated differently depending on the location and severity of your condition. If you suspect you have psoriasis, or you want to try a new treatment for your persistent patches, new treatments are available. Keep reading to learn more about the five different types of psoriasis and how a Psoriasis Clinical Trial can help.

The 5 Types of Psoriasis

Types of Psoriasis include:

1. Guttate psoriasis. This affects roughly 8 percent of people living with psoriasis. Signs of guttate psoriasis include small, round, red or discolored spots caused by inflammation.
2. Pustular psoriasis. This affects about 3 percent of people living with psoriasis. Symptoms include pustules (white, pus-filled, painful bumps) that may be surrounded by inflamed or reddened/discolored skin.
3. Plaque psoriasis. This is the most common type, affecting up to 80 percent of those with psoriasis. Plaques can appear anywhere on the body as raised patches of inflamed, itchy, and painful skin with scales.
4. Inverse psoriasis. It affects one-quarter of people living with psoriasis. Signs of inverse psoriasis include inflamed, deep-red or darkened skin that is smooth and not scaly.
5. Erythrodermic psoriasis. This type of psoriasis is rare, affecting approximately 2% of people living with psoriasis. This type of psoriasis can cause intense redness or discoloration and shedding of skin layers in large sheets.

Treatment for Psoriasis

As mentioned earlier in this blog, treatment for psoriasis can vary depending on the location of the psoriasis, the type, and the severity of the condition.

Although there is no cure for psoriasis, there are many different types of treatment options available. Finding the right one for you may require some trial and error, including topical treatments, phototherapy, prescription medications, lifestyle changes, and other integrative therapies.
