What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly, itchy patches on the skin. It is considered an autoimmune condition. Psoriasis can affect any part of the body, but the most common areas affected are the elbows, knees, scalp, soles of the feet, and back. Psoriatic patches can be minor and occur in just a few small spots, or they can cover large areas of the body. Psoriasis is not contagious and cannot be spread through skin-to-skin contact.
Plaque psoriasis is the most common form, and it causes raised, dry, red patches covered in silvery scale. This type of psoriasis tends to be itchy and tender. However, there are several other types of psoriasis that can occur in various areas of the skin and nails.
