Its name derived from the Latin word gutta, meaning drop. Its not contagious and may be inherited, usually occurs on the trunk, arms, or legs and may cover a large portion of the body.

The trigger to the disease is usually a streptococcal infection. It can break out and disappear without ever returning.

Fewer than 2% of those with psoriasis have the guttate type. It's more common in children and adults younger than 30 years. Boys and girls are equally affected.

Small, salmon-pink drops usually appear suddenly on the skin 2-3 weeks after a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or tonsillitis.

The drop like lesions usually itch.

The outbreak usually starts on the trunk, arms, or legs and sometimes spreads to the face, ears, or scalp. The palms and the bottoms of the feet are usually not affected.
