Erythroderma secondary to pustular psoriasis, an uncommon and intricate dermatological presentation, represents a clinical conundrum demanding meticulous examination. This case study of 45 years old female navigates the complexities surrounding this severe manifestation, elucidating the diagnostic challenges, treatment modalities, and ensuing outcomes. The evolution from classical psoriatic lesions to the erythrodermic-pustular variant involves a dynamic interplay of immunopathogenic cascades, prompting a nuanced diagnostic approach for accurate identification. Therapeutically, the condition necessitates a comprehensive strategy, balancing systemic and topical interventions to address both cutaneous and systemic manifestations. This case study contributes to the broader understanding of erythroderma secondary to pustular psoriasis, serving as a crucial reference for clinicians and researchers grappling with the intricate facets of this rare dermatological phenomenon.
