Facts You Need to Know About Psoriasis

Pustular Psoriasis

Pustular psoriasis is a rare psoriasis type, affecting about 3% of people with psoriasis. The painful skin problem is characterized by small pus-filled white blisters, scattering on the inflamed reddish skin. There are three types of pustular psoriasis. Generalized pustular psoriasis, as the name suggests, usually spreads widely and might cover your entire body. You might have some symptoms such as fever, chills, headaches, itchy skin, painful joints, weak muscle, and fatigue. Without systemic symptoms, localized pustular psoriasis affects only part of your body like your palms, soles, fingers, toes, and nail beds. Known as acropustulosis, the third type of pustular psoriasis is often found on the tips of the fingers and/or toes. [6]
