What are the initial symptoms of psoriasis

summary

Some time ago, when I came home from my vacation, I found a papule on my brother's arm, and he always wanted to scratch it with his hands. After scratching, the symptoms became more serious. After taking him to the hospital for examination, I learned that he was suffering from psoriasis. Today, let me talk about the initial symptoms of psoriasis, and what are the diagnosis methods.

What are the initial symptoms of psoriasis

First, the initial symptoms of dermatophytosis are inflammatory flat papules from needle to lentil, gradually increasing into coins or larger reddish infiltrating spots, with clear boundary, covered with multiple layers of silvery white scales. When the scales on the surface are gently scraped off, a layer of light red translucent film will be exposed. When the film is scraped off again, small bleeding points will appear, which is called "punctate bleeding phenomenon". The clinical features of the disease are white scale, shiny film and punctate hemorrhage.

Second: the initial symptoms of psoriasis are mainly skin lesions. The skin lesions are often red packets or brownish red dots, or macular papules, with dry scales. Later, they gradually expand into brownish red patches with clear boundaries. The adjacent ones can fuse with each other. The scales are silvery white and gradually thickened. When scratching, the scales will fall into pieces, exposing the red smooth base surface, which is called film phenomenon. When peeling off the film, there are small punctate bleeding with the size of a needle. This kind of film like bright red surface has punctate bleeding.

Third: the scalp, limbs extended side more common, symmetrical distribution; finger (toe) nail and mucosa can also be invaded, a few can be seen in the armpit and inguinal fold, palmoplantar rarely occur. Skin lesions: drip, coin, map, ring, band, generalized, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, oyster shell, lichen planus, chronic hypertrophic, verrucous, etc. White scale, shiny film and punctate hemorrhage are the important features in the diagnosis of psoriasis.
