What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy, scaly patches — most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk, and scalp. It is a chronic condition that tends to go through cycles.
Signs & Symptoms of Psoriasis
- Red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales
- Small scaling spots (commonly seen in children)
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed or itch
- Itching, burning, or soreness
Causes of Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an immune system problem causing skin to regenerate at faster-than-normal rates. Both genetics and environmental factors play a role. The condition is not contagious.
Complications
Left untreated, people with psoriasis can develop more-severe conditions such as scars and significant skin changes.
