Seborrheic-like psoriasis
Seborrheic-like psoriasis (pronunciation: seb-o-REE-ik-like pso-RI-a-sis) is a type of psoriasis, a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin.
Etymology
The term "seborrheic-like psoriasis" is derived from the words "seborrheic", referring to a condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or inside the ear, and "psoriasis", a skin disease that causes red, itchy scaly patches.
Description
Seborrheic-like psoriasis, also known as sebopsoriasis, is a unique form of psoriasis that has clinical and histological features of both seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. It typically presents as red, scaly patches on the scalp, face, and chest.
Symptoms
The symptoms of seborrheic-like psoriasis are similar to those of both seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis, and may include:
- Red, scaly patches on the skin
- Itching or burning sensation
- Dandruff-like flaking
- Dry skin
Treatment
Treatment for seborrheic-like psoriasis typically involves the use of topical treatments such as corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and antifungal medications. In severe cases, systemic treatments such as biologics or phototherapy may be used.
