PrintA group of skin conditions that cause constant inflammation and scaling of the skin. People with PRP have reddish, scaly patches that may occur everywhere on the body, or only on certain areas. Some people with PRP also develop thickened skin on the underside of the hands and feet (palmoplantar keratoderma), various nail abnormalities, and/or thinning of the hair. There are several types of PRP classified by age when symptoms begin, body areas involved, and whether other conditions are present. This condition occurs in adults (adult onset PRP) as well as children (juvenile onset PRP).
The Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD) has information and resources for patients, caregivers, and families that may be helpful before and after diagnosis of this condition. GARD is a program of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
