What is 

Guttate psoriasis

?

Guttate psoriasis is a form of psoriasis that appears as small, red, scaly spots on the skin, often triggered by infections such as strep throat. It primarily affects children and young adults and is less common than plaque psoriasis. The spots typically appear on the arms, legs, trunk, and scalp.

What causes Guttate psoriasis?

Guttate psoriasis is an immune-mediated condition that is often triggered by infections, particularly strep throat. Other potential triggers include:

  • Bacterial or viral infections (especially streptococcal infections)
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Skin injuries (cuts, burns, or insect bites)
  • Cold, dry weather
  • Certain medications, such as beta-blockers or antimalarial drugs
  • Genetic predisposition

How is Guttate psoriasis treated?

Treatment for guttate psoriasis focuses on reducing inflammation, managing symptoms, and preventing flare-ups. Common treatments include:

  • Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and redness
  • Moisturizers to soothe dry, irritated skin
  • Vitamin D analogs to slow down excessive skin cell growth
  • Phototherapy (light therapy) to help clear lesions
  • Systemic treatments, such as oral medications or biologics, for severe cases
  • Antibiotics if a bacterial infection, such as strep throat, triggered the outbreak

Yes! Online dermatology consultations allow you to connect with a licensed healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms, receive a diagnosis, and develop a personalized treatment plan—all from the comfort of your home.
