### Can Psoriasis Transform into Pustular Psoriasis? How to Control It Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disease characterized by red plaques and silvery scales. There are many types of psoriasis, one of which is pustular psoriasis. This type of psoriasis is more severe and usually presents with numerous pustules along with significant systemic symptoms such as fever and weakness. #### Can Psoriasis Transform into Pustular Psoriasis? Yes, psoriasis can transform into pustular psoriasis, but this is relatively rare. The transformation may be related to infections, drug reactions, stress, or immune system abnormalities. If you suspect that your psoriasis is transforming, you should seek medical attention promptly for a detailed examination and diagnosis. #### How to Control Psoriasis? Controlling psoriasis requires a comprehensive treatment approach, including: 1. **Medication**: Topical treatments such as corticosteroids and vitamin D3 derivatives; systemic treatments like immunosuppressants and biologics. 2. **Phototherapy**: Ultraviolet therapy (such as PUVA, UVB) can effectively control psoriasis symptoms. 3. **Lifestyle Adjustments**: Keep the skin clean and moisturized; avoid skin injuries; dietary adjustments to avoid irritant foods and increase intake of vitamins and minerals. 4. **Psychological Adjustment**: Psoriasis patients often experience psychological stress, so psychological counseling or support groups are recommended. If psoriasis transforms into pustular psoriasis, professional treatment should be sought as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening. Always follow the guidance of a professional doctor and avoid self-medication. #### Precautions 1. Seek medical attention promptly and have regular check-ups. 2. Avoid stopping or changing medications on your own. 3. Pay attention to changes in your condition and seek medical help immediately if you experience any discomfort.
