GlossaryErythematous Plaques

raised, red, inflamed skin patches

Erythematous plaques are raised, red patches on the skin that are often inflamed and can be a sign of various skin conditions, such as psoriasis or eczema. These plaques result from an increased blood flow to the affected area, causing the redness and swelling, and may be accompanied by itching or discomfort.
