Psoriasis

 Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells. It is a non-contagious condition that affects approximately 2-3% of the global population. Psoriasis typically manifests as thick, red patches of skin covered with silvery scales, which are known as plaques.

Symptoms

Psoriasis symptoms can vary from person to person, but common signs include 

- red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales,

- dry and cracked skin that may bleed,

- itching or burning sensations, 

- thickened or pitted nails. The severity of symptoms can range from mild to severe and may come and go in cycles.

Causes: While the exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The immune system plays a significant role, as it mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, triggering an accelerated production cycle, causing psoriasis. Certain triggers like stress, infections, injury to the skin, hormonal changes, and certain medications can also result in psoriasis

There are several types of psoriasis, including plaque psoriasis (the most common type), guttate psoriasis (small, dot-like lesions), inverse psoriasis (affecting skin folds), pustular psoriasis (characterized by pus-filled blisters), and erythrodermic psoriasis (affecting large areas of the body with intense redness and shedding of skin).
