Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly patches, itching, and inflammation. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the skin cells multiply faster than normal, leading to thickened skin areas. Psoriasis can affect any part of the body, including elbows, knees, scalp, and nails.
