Psoriasis is characterized by red patches, itching and squamous in the skin, often found in the elbows, knees, scalp and the lower back. These patches result from the production of accelerated skin cells, where new skin cells grow too fast and accumulate on the surface. This overproduction is triggered by an immune system that erroneously attacks healthy skin cells, which makes it an autoimmune condition of the skin.
There are several types of psoriasis, including Soriasis in plates (the most common form), guttated psoriasis, Inverse psoriasis, pustular psoriasisand Erythrodermic psoriasis. Each type has unique symptoms and challenges, which require adequate management and attention.
