Abstract
Recurrent flares, painful fiery-red skin, and sterile pustules — are the characteristics of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP), a rare and potentially life-threatening autoinflammatory disease.
While it is the rarest form of psoriasis — only affecting 1.3% of psoriasis patients worldwide, it is the form to which Dr. Siew Eng Choon has dedicated her studies.
Dr. Choon’s interest in psoriasis, particularly in GPP, was initially driven by her own struggle in managing patients with GPP. As a member of IPC’s Pustular Psoriasis working group, Dr. Choon is committed to enhancing the care of GPP patients through the education of healthcare professionals and the general public, research, and advocacy.
