Erythrodermic Psoriasis |
Erythrodermic psoriasis is a generalization of psoriasis vulgaris or pustular psoriasis. Scaling is present but not normally the thick micaceous scales typical of psoriasis vulgaris. The skin can be bright red to salmon pink. There may be fever, malaise and adenopathy. Erythrodermic psoriasis is a serious exacerbation of psoriasis vulgaris. Heat regulation is difficult, and the skin is prone to infection. Its etiology can include an irritation that worsens typical psoriasis. Irritating compounds include psoriatic treatments such topical anthralin, or a sunburn resulting from excessive UVB or PUVA therapy. Exacerbation of psoriasis vulgaris can also be caused by the beta blockers. | |

Sunburn |
A sunburn is a burn to living tissue such as skin produced by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun's rays. Exposure of the skin to lesser amounts of UV will often produce a suntan. Usual mild symptoms in humans and animals are red or reddish skin that is hot to the touch, general fatigue, and mild dizziness. Sunburn can be life-threatening and is a leading cause of skin cancer.[1][2] Sunburn can easily be prevented through the use of sunscreen, clothing (and hats), and by limiting solar exposure, especially during the middle of the day. The only cure for skin burn is slow healing, although skin creams can help.

burn |
In medicine, a burn is any extremity experienced by the skin caused by heat, cold, electricity, chemicals, friction or radiation (e.g. a sunburn). Serious burns, especially if they cover large areas of the body, can cause death; any hint of burn injury to the lungs (e.g. through smoke inhalation) is a medical emergency.
