While most people develop one type of psoriasis and have flare-ups and clearings from that type for life, this is not always the case. It is possible to experience only one outbreak. A child can experience one outbreak of guttate psoriasis and never have another psoriasis outbreak.
It is also possible for two types of psoriasis at the same time. A person with plaque psoriasis can develop a second type of psoriasis. Pustules could develop within or around the plaques. If this occurs, the person has both plaque psoriasis and pustular psoriasis.
Have psoriasis that begins as one type and transforms into another type. Plaque psoriasis can develop into guttate or erythrodermic psoriasis. Abruptly stopping a psoriasis medication, such as cyclosporine or methotrexate, is one such trigger that may cause this transformation
