4 Key Takeaways:
- Diagnosis of generalized pustular psoriasis can take time given its confusing presentation in the early stages but can shift rapidly to urgent care when in the acute phase of the disease.
- Generalized pustular psoriasis and plaque psoriasis are distinct forms but can coexist together. 50% of patients with GPP also have plaque psoriasis.
- The impact of living with GPP is significant and finding support from those who understand, including health care providers, is critical to treating and coping with the disease.
- If you have GPP be a strong advocate for your health and your self-worth. Your symptoms are valid and you deserve to be heard.
