Where are psoriasis patches usually found?

• A. Hands and feet
• B. Scalp, elbows, knees, chest, and lower back
• C. Face and neck
• D. Back and shoulders

Answer: (B)

Plaque psoriasis most often presents on the scalp, elbows, knees, and the trunk, including the chest and lower back. This distribution reflects the common pattern of psoriasis plaques forming on extensor surfaces and the scalp, producing well-defined, silvery scales. While the condition can affect other areas, such as the hands and feet or the face, these sites are less typical as the primary locations. The combination of scalp, elbows, knees, and trunk is the classic pattern, making it the best match for where patches usually appear.
