TLDR
Clinically, patients are evaluated in terms of 12 features, including degree of scaling and erythema; presence or absence of defined lesion borders; itching and koebner phenomenon; papule formation; family history; and involvement of the oral mucosa, knees, elbows, and scalp, which are important indices in the differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Erythemato-squamous diseases are often encountered in the outpatient departments of dermatology. Initially, the disease appears similar to scaling and erythema. After careful analysis, at the predilection sites (localizations of the skin where the disease manifests), some patients show typical clinical features of the disease, whereas others show typical localizations. In dermatology, the differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous disease is challenging. Different classes of the disease share the clinical features of scaling and erythema, with very few differences. Erythemato-squamous diseases to be classified include pityriasis rubra pilaris, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen planus, chronic dermatitis, and pityriasis rosea. Clinically, patients are first evaluated in terms of 12 features, including degree of scaling and erythema; presence or absence of defined lesion borders; itching and koebner phenomenon; papule formation; family history; and involvement of the oral mucosa, knees, elbows, and scalp, which are important indices in the differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases. Scaling and erythema in chronic dermatitis are lesser than those in psoriasis, whereas the koebner phenomenon is found only in psoriasis, pityriasis rosea, and lichen planus. Polygonal papules and itching are observed in lichen planus. However, follicular papules are observed in pityriasis rubra pilaris. Lichen is found at oral mucosa (predilection site) while psoriasis is found within the elbow, scalp and knee. Usually, pityriasis rubra pilaris occurs during childhood. Generally, there is a family history for psoriasis.
