Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to the formation of thick, red, scaly patches on the skin’s surface. These patches, known as plaques, can be itchy and painful. Psoriasis is not contagious, and its exact cause is complex, involving genetic, immune system, and environmental factors. Here are key points about psoriasis:
Symptoms:
- Plaques: Raised, red patches covered with a silvery-white buildup of dead skin cells.
- Itching: The affected areas may be itchy or painful.
- Nail Changes: Psoriasis can affect the nails, causing pitting, discoloration, and separation from the nail bed.
- Joint Pain: Some individuals with psoriasis may experience joint pain, a condition known as psoriatic arthritis.
