Most cases of Pustular psoriasis are thought to be "multifactorial" or associated with the effects of multiple genes in combination with lifestyle and environmental factors. There are several triggers for this conditions including withdrawal from corticosteroids, exposure to various medications and/or infections. Some cases of the generalized form are caused by changes in the IL36RN gene and are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. In severe cases, hospitalization may be required.
