About psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin condition in which skin cells multiply too quickly, producing thick red patches covered with silvery scales, most often on the elbows, knees, scalp and lower back. It can itch or sting, affect the nails, and in some people is associated with joint pain (psoriatic arthritis). Flare-ups can be triggered by stress, infections, skin injury, certain medicines, smoking and alcohol. Psoriasis comes and goes, and it is also linked with metabolic problems, so a review of general health is worthwhile.
