What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic condition where the immune system becomes overactive, causing skin cells to multiply too quickly. This rapid skin cell growth leads to inflamed, scaly patches that commonly appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and other areas of the body. The inflammation makes breathing difficult and can lead to symptoms such as:
- Red, inflamed patches of skin covered with silvery scales
- Itching, burning, or soreness
- Thick, ridged, or pitted nails
- Skin that cracks and sometimes bleeds
- Stiff and swollen joints (which may indicate psoriatic arthritis)
Psoriasis symptoms can be mild or severe. They usually come and go, with periods of flare-ups followed by periods of remission. The condition affects people differently – some experience occasional symptoms, whilst others may have more persistent challenges that significantly impact their daily lives.
