Pustular psoriasis is a more rare form of psoriasis. Pustular psoriasis can affect any part of the body, but often affects the areas of the feet and the hands. The condition usually manifests itself as small bumps or "pustules" on the surface of the skin that contain a slightly sticky clear fluid.

When pustular psoriasis appears on the palms and soles it is referred to as palmoplantar pustulosis, or PPP. This is a chronic inflammatory skin condition where groups of sterile (noncontagious) yellow pus spots on the palms and soles of the feet erupt repeatedly over months or years. Palmoplantar pustulosis is usually chronic and may be associated with bone or joint inflammation.

Pustular psoriasis can be the first sign of psoriasis, or it can develop in people who already have other forms of psoriasis. Widespread pustular psoriasis, or systemic pustular psoriasis, can be very serious, or even fatal. For this reason, it is important that you consult with a doctor if the symptoms of this form of psoriasis manifest.
