Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a non-contagious chronic skin condition where the skin cells multiply faster than normal, causing a buildup of scales, redness, and inflammation. It can affect various parts of the body, including the scalp, elbows, knees, hands, and feet. Common symptoms of psoriasis include:
1. Red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales.
2. Dry, cracked skin that may bleed.
3. Itching, burning, or soreness around affected areas.
4. Thickened, ridged, or pitted nails.
