How to know the patches on my body are of psorasis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Psoriasis: Usually can tell by physical exam - looking at the color, where it appears, and if there's scale or not. Sometimes, a biopsy is needed - an in office procedure where they numb up an area and take a piece of the skin and send it to the lab.
