Psoriasis: Causes, Triggers, Treatment, and More





What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is an old autonomous condition that causes the rapid formation of skin cells. This formation of cells causes scaling on the surface of the skin.
Swelling and redness around the scales is quite common. Specific psoriatic scales are white-silver and grow in thick, red patches. Sometimes, these patch cracks and bleed.
Psoriasis is the result of a speed-up skin production process. Generally, skin cells become deep in the skin and gradually grow on the surface. After all, they fall. The normal life cycle of the skin cell is one month.
In people with psoriasis, this production process can take place within a few days. Because of this, skin cells do not have time to fall. It leads to the production of rapidly producing excessive skin cells.
Scales generally develop on joints, such as elbows and knees. They can grow anywhere on the body, including the following:
•  Hand
•  Feet
•  Neck
•  Skull
•  Face
The less common types of psoriasis affect the area around the nails, mouth, and genitals.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), approximately 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis. It is usually associated with many other situations, including the following:
•  Diabetes type 2
•  Abdominal pain
•  Heart disease
• psoriatic arthritis

There are five types of psoriasis:
