Not Every Scaly Hand Rash is Psoriasis

From Dean Goodless, M.D., About.com GuideFebruary 15, 2008

During yesterday's clinic I had a gentleman come in complaining of years of scaly hand rashes. Something so chronic and in a typical location...surely this would be a symptom of psoriasis.

scaly red palm - psoriasis or fungus?

Alas, it turned out to be a very stubborn and chronic case of fungus or ringworm of the hand, also known as Tinea manum, one of the many mimics of psoriasis.
