Psoriasis generally develops over scalp, extensor aspects of limbs and involves nail.It It is generally less symptomatic and has a tendency to aggrev ate in winter. Fungal infection can involve any part of the body but soles and groin are common sites.It is more symptomatic than psoriasis. You need to consult a dermatologist and confirm the diagnosis before treatment can be planned.
