Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that disrupts the natural skin cell cycle. Skin cells multiply much faster than normal, causing thickened, scaly, inflamed patches. These patches can be itchy, dry, and may bleed if scratched excessively. ` Psoriasis can manifest in different forms—from widespread plaques covering large areas like the back, to small scattered spots across the body.
Symptoms of Psoriasis
Psoriasis can appear on nearly any part of the body but is most commonly found on the scalp, knees, elbows, and lower back. Symptoms vary in severity and presentation:
Raised, red areas of inflamed skin
- Flaky, silvery-white scales over affected areas
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
- Intense itching or burning, sometimes causing bleeding from scratching
- Nail changes: thickening, ridges, pitting, or yellow discoloration
- Pustules with redness, seen in more severe cases
