Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition driven by the immune system, characterized by rapid skin cell growth, leading to red, scaly patches on the skin. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, causing inflammation and an accelerated cell turnover process. While it can be influenced by genetics and triggers like stress or infections, psoriasis is not contagious. Treatments often focus on reducing inflammation and slowing down skin cell production, helping to manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected.
