Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is a rare inflammatory papulosquamous cutaneous disorder of unknown etiology. PRP is commonly divided into 6 clinical subtypes in children and adults, including a genetic subtype. Fundamental elements noted across all subtypes include palmoplantar keratoderma and follicular papules coalescing into well-demarcated reddish-orange plaques with a nonadherent scale. More generalized subtypes classically demonstrate intervening areas of unaffected skin, known as “islands of sparing.” Multiple subtypes often exhibit erythroderma covering ≥90% of the body surface area and have high levels of itch, skin tightness, burning, stinging, and pain. Pityriasis rubra pilaris has a strong negative effect on quality of life, and those affected are at elevated risk for depression and suicidal ideation. Treatment of pityriasis rubra pilaris can be challenging, but biologics have an emerging role in targeting the IL17/IL23 pathway. This activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance learners’ competence in the appropriate diagnosis and management of pityriasis rubra pilaris and highlights the need to foster effective interprofessional teamwork to improve patient outcomes.
