First: psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with characteristic skin lesions and easy to relapse. At the beginning, it was an inflammatory red papule, about the size of millet to mung bean, and then gradually expanded or fused into a brownish red plaque with clear boundary, inflammatory halo around, obvious basal infiltration, and covered with multiple layers of dry gray or silver white scales.
