Psoriasiform hyperplasia. Regular acanthosis, with elongation of rete ridges, as seen in chronic plaque psoriasis. Papillomatosis. Elevation of adjacent dermal papillae above the surrounding epidermal surface.
Psoriasis or a severe seborrheic dermatitis are possible causes of psoriasiform hyperplasia of the scalp, but can be excluded because none of our patients suffered from these conditions.
Treatment Options: Cholesterol supplementation and the use of statins has been reported to improve symptoms. The usual treatments for psoriasis may provide some temporary relief. Physical therapy may prevent joint contractures.
Psoriasiform dermatoses represent a wide spectrum of inflammatory conditions, with several major forms represented by psoriasis, as the prototype of this category, followed by pustular psoriasis, Reiter's syndrome, pityriasis rubra pilaris, lichen simplex chronicus and large-plaques parapsoriasis.
[3] Psoriasiform pattern is defined histologically by the finding of elongated rete ridges of roughly equal length, which alternate with long dermal papillae. According to Ackerman et al., psoriasiform pattern forms a major subset of perivascular dermatitis, the largest group of inflammatory skin diseases.
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes a rash with itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp. Psoriasis is a common, long-term (chronic) disease with no cure. It can be painful, interfere with sleep and make it hard to concentrate.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, meaning that part of the body's own immune system becomes overactive and attacks normal tissues in the body.
There's no cure for psoriasis. But treatment can help you feel better. You may need topical, oral, or body-wide (systemic) treatments.
Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis linked with psoriasis, a chronic skin and nail disease. Psoriasis causes red, scaly rashes and thick, pitted fingernails. Psoriatic arthritis is similar to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in symptoms and joint swelling (inflammation). But it tends to affect fewer joints than RA.
Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin disease characterized by aberrant inflammation and epidermal hyperplasia. Molecular mechanisms that regulate psoriasis-like skin inflammation remain to be fully understood.
Psoriasiform eruptions are a classical adverse skin reaction of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors. The aim of this study was to identify the association between the severity or pattern of psoriasiform reactions and the underlying disease.
It is characterized by red, scaly skin patches that are usually found on the scalp, elbows, and knees, and may be associated with severe arthritis. The lesions are caused by abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and infiltration of inflammatory cells into the dermis and epidermis.
Psoriasiform dermatitis is a histological term that refers to a group of disorders that histologically mimic psoriasis. Chief among them in frequency are lichenified dermatitis or lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) , seborrheic dermatitis , and pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) .
Certain areas of the skin are preferentially involved, including the scalp, groin, elbows, knees, umbilicus, and lumbar spine. The disease follows a chronic relapsing course characterized by remission and exacerbation.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes thick skin patches to form on the body. Without treatment, psoriasis can cause symptoms such as itchiness and pain. It can also lead to other conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, psoriatic arthritis, and type 2 diabetes.
What is clear is that many people who have psoriasis say they feel exhausted. Some people say the constant fatigue, which can interfere with everyday life, is one of the most troublesome symptoms of psoriasis.
A triggering event may cause a change in the immune system, resulting in the onset of psoriasis symptoms. Common triggers for psoriasis include stress, illness (particularly strep infections), injury to the skin, and certain medications.
Psoriasiform spongiotic dermatitis, an inflammatory dermatosis, manifests from conditions like psoriasis, nutritional deficiencies and HIV. It distributes symmetrically on elbows, knees, scalp and torso,2 and excoriation of lesions leads to superinfection.
Psoriasis is a skin disease that results from a faulty immune system. Instead of only targeting viruses and bacteria, your immune system turns on healthy tissue. It attacks your skin, which speeds up how quickly your skin cells multiply.
You'll probably think of skin issues first, but your eyes, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal (GI) tract (stomach and intestines), liver and kidneys may also be affected.
