Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to inflammation, scaling, and thickened patches on the skin. The condition commonly affects the scalp, elbows, knees, lower back, and nails, and may vary from mild localized plaques to widespread skin involvement. Psoriasis can also affect the joints and overall quality of life.
