What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is another common chronic skin condition that causes skin cells to grow rapidly and build up on the skin’s surface.

Psoriasis has a thick, scaly appearance, sometimes with silvery scales and dry, itchy, red patches that may be sometimes bleed or become painful. As with eczema, psoriasis is a chronic condition for which there is no cure, and individuals experience periods of flare ups that often alternate with periods of better control.

There are several variations, such as:

  • Plaque psoriasis (the most common)
  • Nail psoriasis
  • Scalp psoriasis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
