Psoriasis
Psoriasis primarily affects the skin, causing skin cells to accumulate quicker than normal. It results in the development of scaly, unpleasant, and itchy spots on your skin. In persons with light or pale skin tones, psoriasis typically appears pink or crimson, with silvery-white scales. It can have salmon-colored scaling and silvery-white undertones on a medium-toned complexion. Psoriasis can appear violet, brown, or reddish brown on darker skin tones.
Description:
Normally, skin cells develop deeply within the skin and come to the surface once a month or so. When you have psoriasis, this process usually happens in seven to fourteen days. This causes dead skin cells to accumulate on the skin's surface, generating scales. Psoriasis is a skin condition that typically affects the knees, elbows, trunk, and scalp. It produces a rash with itchy, scaly spots. Psoriasis is a prevalent, persistent illness that lasts for a long time. In addition to being uncomfortable, it can disrupt sleep and make it difficult to focus. Cycles of flare-ups lasting a few weeks or months followed by periods of subsidence are characteristic of the syndrome.
