AB Psoriasis  is  a  common  chronic  inflammatory  disease  of  the  skin.  They  are  symmetric  in  distribution  and  favor  elbows,  knees,  scalp,  retroauricular  skin,  and  intertriginous  areas.  Many  clinical  variants  exist  and  include  plaque  psoriasis,  pustular  psoriasis,  guttate  psoriasis,  inverse  psoriasis,  and  erythrodermic  psoriasis,  with  the  plaque  variant  being  the  most  common  type  (Figs.  56.1  and  56.2).  Nails  and  mucous  membranes  can  be  affected.  Psoriasis  is  associated  with  psoriatic  arthritis  in  at  least  5%  of  patients.
