Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is a rare and challenging-to-diagnose severe form of psoriasis. Its presentation can have similarities with other inflammatory skin conditions, complicating subsequent management. We present a case of a 76-year-old woman with EP who presented with fever, tachycardia, leg swelling with pain and redness, and reduced consciousness. Her imaging revealed characteristic features of the disease, providing valuable educational insights. We aim to emphasize the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for EP and promptly adjusting treatment.
