Understanding Psoriasis
What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the skin, causing red, scaly patches that can itch, crack, and bleed. It occurs when the immune system speeds up the skin cell production process, leading to an accumulation of dead skin cells on the surface. Psoriasis can develop at any age and often comes and goes in cycles of flare-ups and remission.
