Person with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP)
“When I flare with GPP, it’s very, very painful. My hands break out. It also goes down my arms; it dries up and cracks, and it feels like a paper cut, but times 10,000.”
GPP is characterized by episodes of widespread eruptions of sterile pustules and may also include pain, fever, skin lesions, and burning
