Pustular Psoriasis - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Definition Pustular psoriasis is an uncommon form of psoriasis. Primarily seen in adults, pustular psoriasis is characterized by white pustules surrounded by red skin. The pus consists of white blood cells. It is not an infection, nor is it contagious. The skin under and around these bumps is red. Large portions of your skin may redden. Some people with generalised pustular psoriasis have a preceding history of chronic plaque psoriasis which is characterized by the common variety in which there are persistent red scaly patches. In many patients no identifiable cause can be found for the altered pattern of disease. Pustular Psoriasis often affects the areas of the feet and the hands and usually manifests itself as small bumps or Pustules on the surface of the skin that contains a slightly sticky clear fluid. The extent of psoriasis and how it affects the individual varies from person to person. Some may only be mildly affected and will hardly be troubled by its presence with only a minute patch hide away somewhere. Causes
