A form of this disease is difficult to distinguish pathologically from a drug reaction called AGEP. A severe form of this disease can be treated using spesolimab, an IL-36 inhibitor. Tissue affected by this disease may be surrounded by pale rings named for Woronoff and shows Munro microabscesses and elongated thin rete (“ree-tee”) ridges. A high risk of this disease is conferred by the HLA-C*06:02 (“H-L-A-C-oh-six-oh-two”) polymorphism. Streptococcal infections can trigger flares of this disease’s “guttate” form. Telescoping fingers and sausage digits can occur in an arthritis associated with this disease, which also causes oil spots and nail pitting. This disease is treated with vitamin D derivatives like calcipotriene. This disease, which has plaque and pustular subtypes, preferentially affects the extensor surfaces of the elbows and knees, unlike eczema (“EX-uh-muh”). For 10 points, name this skin disease that causes itchy red plaques with silvery scale. ■END■
