What is a chronic skin condition causing red patches with dry, thick, silvery scales?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks to identify a chronic skin condition characterized by red patches with dry, thick, silvery scales.
Option 1: Verruca. A wart caused by human papillomavirus; it presents as a rough skin growth rather than widespread red patches with silvery scales, so this is not a match.
Option 2: Petechia. Tiny red or purple spots resulting from minor bleeding under the skin; this description does not involve dry, scaly plaques and is not a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
Option 3: Psoriasis. A chronic autoimmune skin disease that typically presents as well-demarcated red patches covered with thick, silvery scales, matching the description provided in the question.
Option 4: Parotitis. Inflammation of the parotid gland, often presenting with swelling and sometimes pain near the jaw/ear, not a skin condition with silvery scales.
Thus, among the choices, the description most closely aligns with psoriasis due to its hallmark features of chronicity and scaly plaques.
