Question: What should I know about psoriasis plaques appearing on or near moles on my shoulders?

Any changes in moles or unusual skin growths should be evaluated by a healthcare provider, especially when combined with psoriasis plaques. Psoriasis plaques typically appear as raised, red patches covered with silvery-white scales and can occur anywhere on the body, including the shoulders. Psoriasis can appear in small patches or cover larger areas of skin. On lighter skin tones, these plaques often have a distinctive silvery-white scale due to rapid skin cell buildup. The appearance may vary depending on your skin tone, with some people experiencing more purplish coloring in the affected areas.

It's important to have any concerning skin changes examined by a dermatologist who can properly evaluate both the moles and psoriasis plaques to ensure appropriate treatment.
