Guttate Psoriasis

​

Guttate psoriasis produces small red drop like lesions on the trunk, arms and legs often accompanied by scaling.

​

• Drop-sized, red dots form — usually on the trunk, arms, and legs. Lesions occasionally form on the scalp, face, and ears.

• Lesions widespread.

• Appears quickly, usually a few days after a strep throat or other trigger, such as a cold, tonsillitis, chicken pox, skin injury, or taking certain medications.

• Can first appear as another form of psoriasis, such as plaque psoriasis, and turn into guttate psoriasis.
