CPC is important, thinking of psoriasiform drug reaction.

There is an alternating orthokeratosis/parakeratosis with a possible hyperkeratosis within/around the follicular ostium. I wounder this could be a Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris (PRP) especially with a clue of palmoplanar involement from the history and right age for the onset of Adult variant.

Dilated tortuous capillaries in dermal papillae make me favor psoriatic erythroderma.

Agree with the differentials. Favour psoriatic erythroderma due to the well developed ' vascular papilla'.

Agree with Psoriasis and PRP (the pattern of parakeratosis is good for this) as differential. Didn't see epidermotropism.
