Plaque Psoriasis
  • Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of

  • Erythrodermic refers to a generalised redness
    of the skin. It involves all, or nearly all
    (usually stated as at least 90) of the skin's
    surface. It may arise as a result of many
    inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, drug
    eruptions, malignancies.

Nail Psoriasis
  • Nail psoriasis is a manifestation of
    psoriasis that affects up to half of all
    individuals with psoriasis elsewhere on the body.
    The condition can often be confused with fungal
    infections and other infections of the nail.

  • Psoriatic arthritis is a painful and
    physically limiting condition affecting up to 30
    percent of those with psoriasis . It can affect
    many joints and often becomes quite severe in the
