Psoriasis A Skin Disease
Psoriasis is a noncontagious noncurable common long term skin condition that causes rapid skin cell reproduction resulting in red, itchy, dry patches and thick silvery scales of thickened skin. The dry flakes and skin scales are thought to result from the rapid buildup of skin cells. Psoriasis commonly affects the skin of the elbows, knees, and scalp. Sometimes psoriasis may clear for years and stay in remission. Some have worsening of their symptoms in the colder winter months. Many show improvement in warmer climates, or with increased sunlight exposure. Patients with more severe psoriasis may have social embarrassment, job stress, emotional distress, and other personal issues because of the appearance of their skin.
