SUMMARY PAS Staining was used to assess the glycogen content of clinically normal forearm epidermis in 32 patients with active psoriasis, 30 patients with inactive psoriasis and 40 non‐psoriatic subjects. Glycogen accumulation was greater in patients with active than in those with inactive psoriasis. The inactive psoriatics showed significantly less glycogen accumulation than the controls.
