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
