GPP Resource Center

Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP)

GPP is a painful, rare, and chronic form of psoriasis that can appear in a small area or over a wide swath of the body. Because of the rarity of GPP, it is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood, but there are effective treatments and tools to manage the disease.

Like all psoriasis types, GPP is NOT contagious, and though it is rare, you are never alone. Explore this GPP Resource Center to connect and learn.
