Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, causing them to build up rapidly on the surface. This leads to thick, red, scaly patches that may itch, burn, or crack. Psoriasis is not contagious, but it is often long-lasting and recurring, impacting both physical comfort and emotional well-being.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, where the immune system mistakenly triggers skin cell overproduction. Common triggers include:
Stress or illness
Cold weather
Infections
Certain medications
Skin injuries (cuts, burns, or scratches)
✔ Raised red patches with silvery-white scales
✔ Itching, burning, or soreness
✔ Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
✔ Nail changes (pitting, thickening, or separation)
✔ Joint pain or stiffness (psoriatic arthritis)
