Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to red, scaly patches that may itch or be painful. It most commonly affects the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back, but can appear anywhere on the body. Psoriasis occurs when the immune system mistakenly triggers inflammation, causing skin cells to multiply too quickly. While the exact cause is unknown, genetics and environmental factors play a role. Psoriasis can be managed with various treatments, including topical creams, light therapy, and systemic medications.
