What would be a good example of a papulosquamous rash you might see on #skinexam?

Psoriasis is the perfect example of a papulosquamous disorder. Before we break down what this means, let's start with the basics. I was taught that skin rashes & lesions fall in one of 5 reaction patterns:
- papulosquamous
- eczematous
- vesicobullous
- dermal
- red (vascular)

By knowing which category each rash/lesion is, you can limit your Ddx.
For example:
If something is both vesicobullous and eczematous, you're probably dealing with some type of eczema.
If you're dealing with something dermal, you can probably take psoriasis off your ddx!
