PSORIASIS

Psoriasis is a long-lasting health condition in which the immune system becomes overactive, causing skin cells to multiply too quickly. Patches of skin become scaly and inflamed, most often on the scalp, elbows, or knees, but other parts of the body can be affected as well.

The symptoms of psoriasis can sometimes go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months followed by periods when they subside or go into remission. The treatment plan will depend on the type and severity of disease. Along with treatment, healthy lifestyle modifications and Managing common triggers, such as stress and skin injuries, can also help keep the symptoms under control.
