Psoriasis Care

About Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition in which the immune system triggers skin cells to grow too quickly. This results in thick, red patches of skin with silvery scales that can be itchy, uncomfortable, or painful.
Psoriasis can affect many areas of the body, including the elbows, knees, scalp, back, and torso. It is not contagious but often requires medical care to manage.
