Psoriasis

CHAPTER ONE
PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a widespread chronic skin illness that impacts millions of individuals worldwide.
Any age, gender, or color might be impacted.
A chronic disorder called psoriasis is marked by reddish, scaly areas of skin that can be uncomfortable and itchy.
In more extreme circumstances, the patches may split, bleed, and infect themselves.
Psoriasis is thought to be caused by an overactive immune system, despite the fact that its exact cause is still unknown.
The overproduction of skin cells and inflammation that can result from psoriasis have both been related to an imbalance in the body's immunological response, according to research.
This may then result in skin regions that are scaly.
Psoriasis symptoms can differ from person to person depending on the type and severity of the ailment.
Typically, psoriasis flare-ups can result in thick, red skin patches on the hands, scalp, lower back, elbows, and knees.
In more severe cases, psoriasis can result in edema, stiffness, and joint pain.
Fortunately, psoriasis can be controlled with a wide range of medications and lifestyle modifications.
