Background: We propose that the distribution of skin lesions in psoriasis may be assessed using parametric maps on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
Material And Methods: We processed 428 patient-drawn self-descriptions of the psoriasis lesions on a supplied body template. We compared 195 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) with 89 who had this diagnosis rejected (Psor).
Background: Primary focal hyperhidrosis is a hereditary condition characterized by excessive sweating affecting a variety of areas, including the palms. In most cases, the decision to treat a patient is based only on the patient's own description of the symptoms because laboratory tests have not been established in clinical practice.
Objective: To validate a subjective self-assessment scale for sweating in comparison with an objective method of quantifying evaporation from the skin surface.
