What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates skin cell turnover, leading to red, scaly patches of skin. It affects people of all ages and is often triggered by factors such as stress, infections, or weather changes. The condition is most seen on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. While psoriasis is not contagious, it can cause significant physical and emotional discomfort, making it essential to seek professional care for effective management.
