What is Psoriasis ? All You Need to Know
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease that causes an accelerated life cycle of skin cells, which leads to the development of rough, red spots that have scaly patches on the skin. It is an autoimmune skin disease that is not contagious, but can be chronic, causing flares and then remissions. Psoriasis can be seen on any part of the body and can impact one’s quality of life.
Some of the common areas affected include the scalp, elbows, knees, lower back, nails, hands and in some cases the face. Understanding what psoriasis is, will aid in early detection and better management of the disease with the right medical management.
