Nombres alternativos

Psoriasis guttata

Síntomas:

Los síntomas abarcan prurito y manchas en la piel, que son de color rojo-rosa y lucen como gotas de lágrimas. Las manchas pueden estar cubiertas con piel plateada y escamosa, llamada escamas.

Las manchas generalmente ocurren en los brazos, las piernas y la parte media del cuerpo (el tronco), pero pueden aparecer en otras áreas corporales.
