What are the complications of erythrodermic psoriasis?

Erythrodermic psoriasis may result in significant itching or skin pain. The rash also affects your body’s ability to sweat and regulate your body temperature. You may develop hypothermia (low body temperature). It can affect electrolyte levels and lead to dehydration. You may develop a fever, chills and edema (fluid retention) in your feet and ankles. Sometimes, infection can occur, but it’s not common.

The condition increases your risk for life-threatening problems like:

• Heart failure.
• Infections like septicemia, which can lead to sepsis.
• Pneumonia.
