Knowing which kind of psoriasis you have helps you and your doctor make a treatment plan. Most people only have one type at a time. Sometimes, after your symptoms go away, a new form of psoriasis will crop up in response to a trigger.

Here’s how you can spot the 7 types of psoriasis.

Nail Psoriasis

Up to half of those with psoriasis have nail changes. This is even more common in people who have psoriatic arthritis, which affects your joints.

Common symptoms include:

  • Pitting of your nails
  • Tender, painful nails
  • Separation of the nail from the bed
  • Color changes (yellow-brown)
  • Chalk-like material under your nails

You’re also more likely to also have a fungal infection.
