In the early stage of psoriasis, patients typically develop red papules of varying sizes, which can appear on any part of the body—most commonly in a symmetrical distribution. As the condition progresses, these lesions may coalesce into discrete, drop-like or coin-shaped red plaques. Early manifestations are often mild; however, without timely intervention, symptoms may worsen significantly, potentially leading to erosion, exudation, and intense pruritus.
