This form of psoriasis may be masked by other diseases, for instance, topical glucocorticoid-resistant atopic dermatitis, leading to late diagnosis.As a result, there is a growing need to familiarise medical personnel with the fundamentals of differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease.
