Plaque Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune skin disease, causing red, scaly patches due to rapid skin cell reproduction. It mainly harms elbow, knee or scalp, but can be spread to any other part. Up to 30% of patients also suffer from inflammation of joints which is called as Psoriatic Arthritis.

Psoriasis in any form, impacts the skin. Each type can cause different problems, however not always.  Sometimes, if you’re lucky, they’ll only cause one problem at any given time.  Psoriasis’s trademark symptoms are shedding and skin redness. Skin consists of 2 different layers. The ‘old skin’ or outer layer sheds off every couple weeks. The inner layer of skin replaces the outer layer as it sheds off. Shedding skin is a normal procedure, but it happens over time so that we don’t notice.

The 3 primary forms of psoriasis are Guttate, Plaque, and Seborrheic.

Plaque psoriasis is the most common. Everyone is different, but the common symptoms are patchy and flakey skin areas.  These areas experience itchiness and inflammation.  The skin is very open to infection.

Seborrheic is psoriasis of the scalp.  It affects the head and facial areas.  Specifically, it affects the scalp, ears, and forehead.  People with Seborrheic psoriasis look like they have a serious case of dandruff.  There are shampoos available that will remedy the flaking, but it’s still quite the inconvenience.

Children and young adults are the groups commonly affected by guttate psoriasis.  It shows up as red bumps on the skin and usually follows an episode of strep throat. Simple antibiotics will make it go away and the chances of it coming back are minimal.

For years I thought I just had chronic dandruff.  I had no idea I was suffering from psoriasis.

Guttate psoriasis in children?

I just returned from the dermatologist for my 9 year old daughter. She has had the oddest “rash” for 4 months.
