*Psoriasis must be differentiated from other diseases causing papulosquamous or erythematosquamous rash especially when the psoriatic lesions are localized in particular sites for example, palms, soles, scalp, body folds, penis and nails.

Overview

Psoriasis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause 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.

Differentiating Psoriasis from other Diseases

Disease Rash Characteristics Signs and Symptoms Associated Conditions Rash Appearance
Cutaneous T cell lymphoma/Mycosis fungoides[1]
    • Premycotic phase: A scaly, red rash in areas of the body that usually are not exposed to the sun. This rash does not cause symptoms and may last for months or years.
    • Patch phase: Thin, reddened, eczema -like rash.
    • Plaque phase: Small raised bumps (papules) or hardened lesions on the skin, which may be reddened.
    • Tumor phase: Tumors form on the skin. These tumors may develop ulcers and the skin may get infected.
  • Sezary syndrome

Pityriasis rosea[2]
  • Pink or salmon in colour, which may be scaly, termed as "herald patch"
  • Oval in shape
  • Long axis oriented along the clevage lines
  • Distributed on the trunk and proximal extremities
  • Squamous marginal collarette and a “fir-tree” or “Christmas tree” distribution on the posterior trunk
  • Develops after viral infection
  • Resolves spontaneously after 6-8 weeks
  • Preceded by a prodrome of:

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

Nummular dermatitis[5]
  • Multiple coinshaped eczematous lesions
  • Commonly affecting the extremities (lower>upper) and trunk
  • May ooze fluid and become dry and crusty
  • Often appears after a skin injury, such as a burn, abrasion (from friction), or insect bite
  • Lesions commonly relapse after occasional remission or may persist for long periods
  • Pruritis

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

Bowen’s disease[7]
  • Erythematous little scaly plaque, which enlarges over time in an erratic manner
  • Scale is usually yellow or white and it is easily detachable without producing any bleeding
  • Well defined margins

Exanthematous pustulosis[9]
  • Numerous small, primarily non-follicular, sterile pustules, arising within large areas of edematous erythema

Hypertrophic lichen planus[11]
  • Chronic pruritis
  • Scaling
  • May be asymptomatic

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

Small plaque parapsoriasis[17]
  • Erythematous plaques which are covered with fine scale.
  • May present with elongated, finger-like patches symmetrically distributed on the flanks, also 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

Intertrigo[19]
  • Red and fleshy looking lesion in skin folds
  • Itching
  • oozing
  • May be sore

Langerhans cell histiocytosis[20]
  • Scaling and crusting of the scalp

courtesy http://www.regionalderm.com

Tinea manuum/pedum/capitis[24]
  • scaling, flaking, and sometimes blistering of the affected areas
  • Hair loss with a black dot on scalp in case of tinea capitis
  • Pruritis
  • KOH preparation of the lesions confirms fungal infection

Seborrheic dermatitis
