Psoriasis is a common, chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disorder with a strong genetic basis. The plaque type is the most common, although several distinctive clinical variants of psoriasis exist. Plaque psoriasis is most typically characterized by circular-to-oval red plaques distributed over extensor body surfaces and the scalp. The plaques usually exhibit scaling as a result of epidermal hyperproliferation and dermal inflammation.
