Overview

Psoriasis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause an erythematous, scaly rash such as cutaneous T cell lymphoma/mycosis fungoides, pityriasis rosea, pityriasis rubra pilaris, pityriasis lichenoides chronica, nummular dermatitis, secondary syphilis, Bowen’s disease, exanthematous pustulosis, hypertrophic lichen planus, Sneddon–Wilkinson disease, small plaque parapsoriasis, intertrigo, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, dyshidrotic dermatitis, tinea manuum/pedum/capitis, and seborrheic dermatitis.

Disease Rash Characteristics Signs and Symptoms Associated Conditions Images

Pityriasis rosea[2]
  • Pink or salmon in color, which may be scaly; referred to as "herald patch"
  • Oval shape
  • Long axis oriented along the cleavage lines
  • Distributed on the trunk and proximal extremities
  • Squamous marginal collarette and a “fir-tree” or “Christmas tree” distribution on posterior trunk
  • Secondary to viral infections
  • Resolves spontaneously after 6-8 weeks

Pityriasis lichenoides chronica
  • Recurrent lesions are usually less evenly scattered than in cases of psoriasis
  • Brownish red or orange-brown in color
  • Lesions are capped by a single detachable, opaque, mica-like scale
  • Often leave hypopigmented macules

Nummular dermatitis[5]
  • Lesions commonly relapse after occasional remission or may persist for long periods
  • Pruritus

Secondary syphilis[6]
  • Round, coppery, red colored lesions on palms and soles
  • Papules with collarette of scales

courtesy of wikipedia.org

Bowen’s disease[7]
  • Erythematous, small, scaly plaque, which enlarges erratically over time
  • Scale is usually yellow or white and it is easily detachable without any bleeding
  • Well-defined margins

Exanthematous pustulosis[9]

Hypertrophic lichen planus[11]

Sneddon–Wilkinson disease[13]
  • Flaccid pustules that are often generalized and have a tendency to involve the flexural areas
  • Annular configuration

courtesy http://www.atlasdermatologico.com.br/disease.jsf?diseaseId=427

Small plaque parapsoriasis[17]
  • Erythematous plaques with fine scaly surface
  • May present with elongated, finger-like patches
  • Symmetrical distribution on the flanks
  • Known as digitate dermatosis
  • Lesions may be asymptomatic
  • May be mildly pruritic
  • May fade or disappear after sun exposure during the summer season, but typically recur during the winter

Differential diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis
