Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder that causes the body to produce skin cells at an accelerated rate, leading to thickened, inflamed, scaly patches. While it's a long-term condition, the right treatment can effectively control symptoms and dramatically improve quality of life.
What Does Psoriasis Look Like?
✦ Red, raised plaques with silvery-white scale
✦ Most commonly on elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, and sometimes nails
✦ May be itchy, sore, or crack and bleed
✦ Varies in severity from small localized patches to widespread involvement.
