Popis: Psoriasis is a disease of the total skin, which becomes clinically evident when a psoriasic lesion appears following an injury to the symptomless skin of a psoriasis patient. Although not all biopsy specimens of the symptomless skin show pathologic findings, the evolution of a psoriasic plaque can be envisioned as developing from the nonvisible phases of residual psoriasis, prepsoriasis, and latent psoriasis into a visible state where macules evolve into papules and papules coalesce to form plaques.
