Brief Answer:
Psoriatic lesions can occur on warts caused by HPV

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It is possible for psoriatic lesions to occur at the site of warts caused by HPV virus in susceptible individuals. In your case I can’t appreciate any warts as such. All the lesions are looking psoriatic in origin.
