Understanding the concern
What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes red, thickened patches covered with silvery scales. It occurs when the skin cell turnover process becomes accelerated, leading to a rapid build-up of cells on the surface.
It commonly affects the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, hands or feet, and may appear in periodic flare-ups. Although psoriasis is long-term, dermatological care can manage symptoms and improve comfort and appearance.
Possible causes

Psoriasis is believed to develop from an overactive immune response that affects the skin's normal growth cycle. Contributing factors include:
