Psoriasis – Symptoms, Causes & Advanced Treatments

English Version

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.

Symptoms

• Red or pink raised patches of skin
• White or silvery scales on affected areas
• Intense itching or burning sensation
• Nail changes, such as pitting or thickening
• Cracking and bleeding in severe cases

Causes & Risk Factors

• Genetic Predisposition: Family history increases risk
