GlossaryPustular Psoriasis (GPP)

rare psoriasis form with white pustules on red skin

Pustular Psoriasis is a rare and severe form of psoriasis characterized by white pustules (blisters of non-infectious pus) surrounded by red skin. These pustules can appear on specific areas like the hands and feet or cover large portions of the body, and the condition often requires medical treatment due to its potential to cause systemic symptoms like fever and chills.
