Q1 · Psoriasis
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Psoriasis produces well-demarcated erythematous plaques with silvery scale, typically on extensor surfaces and the scalp. Removing the scale reveals pinpoint bleeding, the Auspitz sign. It is a chronic immune-mediated condition.
Q2 · Auspitz Sign
MediumExplanation
The Auspitz sign — pinpoint bleeding when psoriatic scale is removed — reflects the thin suprapapillary epidermis and dilated dermal capillaries in psoriasis. It is a classic clinical clue to the diagnosis.
Q3 · Koebner Phenomenon
HardExplanation
The Koebner (isomorphic) phenomenon — lesions arising at sites of trauma — occurs in psoriasis, lichen planus, and vitiligo, among others. It reflects the tendency of these conditions to localise to injured skin.
Q4 · Lichen Planus
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Lichen planus classically shows the 'six Ps' — pruritic, purple (violaceous), polygonal, planar (flat-topped) papules and plaques — often with fine white lines (Wickham's striae) and oral involvement. It is an immune-mediated condition.
Q5 · Pityriasis Rosea
MediumExplanation
Pityriasis rosea begins with a 'herald patch', followed days later by smaller oval scaly lesions along skin cleavage lines, giving a 'Christmas tree' pattern on the trunk. It is self-limiting, resolving over weeks.
Q6 · Psoriasis Treatment
EasyExplanation
Mild plaque psoriasis is usually treated first-line with topical corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues such as calcipotriol. More extensive or resistant disease may need phototherapy or systemic and biologic agents.
Q7 · Guttate Psoriasis
HardExplanation
Guttate psoriasis presents with numerous small, drop-shaped plaques and is classically triggered by a preceding streptococcal throat infection, particularly in children and young adults. It may resolve or evolve into chronic plaque psoriasis.
