Guttate Psoriasis also known as Eruptive, Raindrop, or Paintbrush Psoriasis
This normally occurs following a streptococcal throat infection and is more common among children and teenagers. It causes small (less than 1cm or 1/3 inch) drop-shaped sores on your chest, arms, legs and scalp. Numerous small red scaly patches quickly develop over a wide area of skin, although the palms and the soles are usually not affected. There is a good chance that guttate psoriasis will disappear completely, but some people go on to develop plaque psoriasis.
