Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disorder that accelerates skin cell turnover, causing thick, scaly patches often seen on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. These patches are typically red with silvery scales and can be itchy or painful. Psoriasis may also affect the nails and joints (psoriatic arthritis). Psoriasis treatment options include topical treatments and systemic medications, all of which aim to reduce symptoms and inflammation. Managing psoriasis effectively can help control flare-ups and improve the quality of life for those affected.
