Is there a test that can confirm psoriasis?

Most dermatologists and primary care physicians can accurately make this diagnosis clinically by the appearance and location of the characteristic rash. If widespread or not improving with standard topical therapy please see your board certified dermatologist for further management. If the rash is not classic a biopsy can assist with helping narrow down the diagnosis.
