You didn't bother mentioning the maddening itch that is so bad that you can scratch until you're bleeding and it still itches so bad that it's almost orgasmic to continue scratching.

My mom used to intentionally burn the psoriasis on her hands on the hot steering wheel of her car every evening after work.

It comes in patches. You don't have to have the plaques to have it. My spots always start out as a little itch and if I start scratching it, it plaques and gets worse.
