The appearance of pinpoint bleeding when scale is scraped off a psoriatic plaque, caused by exposure of dilated dermal capillaries.
Gentle removal of the scale elicited the Auspitz sign, further supporting a diagnosis of psoriasis.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
