The skin lesions are small papules and macules with reddish color, covered with a few scales, and the degree of itching varies. The itchiness varies in degree. It can subside within a few weeks after appropriate treatment, and a few patients can be transformed into chronic disease. 2. Arthropathic psoriasis: besides skin lesions, arthropathy can appear, the latter and skin lesions can appear at the same time or successively, and any joints can be involved. It can be characterized by joint swelling and pain, activity limitation, and joint deformity in severe cases with progressive development, which requires early treatment to control the symptoms and prevent disability. 3.
