What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune skin condition in which skin cells multiply faster than normal, leading to thick, red patches covered with silvery-white scales. It can affect the skin, scalp, nails, and sometimes joints.

Psoriasis is a long-term condition with periods of flare-ups and remission, but with proper treatment it can be effectively controlled.

Common Types of Psoriasis

Psoriasis can appear in different forms, including:

Plaque Psoriasis – most common type; thick, scaly patches
Scalp Psoriasis – affects scalp and hairline
Guttate Psoriasis – small drop-like lesions, often after infection
Inverse Psoriasis – smooth patches in skin folds
Pustular Psoriasis – pus-filled blisters (less common)
Nail Psoriasis – pitting, discoloration, nail thickening

Correct identification of psoriasis type is essential for effective management.
