The Guttate Psoriasis Picture

Guttate psoriasis is characterized by small dot-like lesions. It is most common in children and young adults who have a prior history of upper respiratory infection, pharyngitis, or tonsillitis (Camisa 64). The lesions are not as scaly as plaque-type psoriasis and are likely to be found on the trunk and involve the face (Camisa 64).
