Abstract

Psoriasis and pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) are both chronic skin disorders characterized by well-demarcated, scaly papules and plaques. Lesions can range from few and circumscribed to diffuse and distressing. Although psoriasis is more common with known comorbidities, PRP likely places a similar psychological burden on patients. The two conditions, their features, and management, particularly the use of systemic therapies, will be discussed here.
