Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes skin symptoms. Researchers have identified many types of psoriasis, including:

• plaque
• nail
• scalp
• guttate
• inverse
• erythrodermic
• pustular 

Skin changes can look different on different people. 

The affected areas may be pink, coral, or red, especially on light skin. On skin of color, the areas may instead be purple, violet, or gray. Or they may be the same color as the surrounding skin, making the changes more difficult to see. This can contribute to challenges and inequities in diagnosis and treatment.
