It can appear with or without previous psoriasis conditions or history, and can reoccur in periodic episodes. Signs and symptoms GPP presents as pustules and Plaque (dermatology), plaques over a wide area of the body. It differs from the localized form of pustular psoriasis in that patients are often febrile and systemically ill.

The IPC roundtable adds that these pustules often occur either at the edges "of expanding, intensely inflammatory plaques" or "within erythrodermic skin".
