What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a common autoimmune, inflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 2% of the world's population. It is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. Psoriasis can range from mild to severe depending on the amount of skin surface area affected and can occur on different body parts.

Psoriasis is a skin condition that can manifest as scaly patches, with or without itchiness, that often worsen during winter. What may appear to be severe dandruff or dryness on the body or scalp may actually be a manifestation of psoriasis. Additionally, psoriasis can affect the joints and tendons, leading to a condition called psoriatic arthritis, which commonly involves the small joints of the hands and feet. If you suspect you may have psoriasis, it's important to seek medical attention from a qualified healthcare provider.

What are the types of Psoriasis?

1. Plaque psoriasis is the most common type, characterized by red, raised patches covered in silver scales.

2. Guttate psoriasis often occurs after a bacterial infection and is characterized by small, pink, teardrop-shaped spots.

3. Inverse psoriasis affects areas with folds of skin, such as the armpits, groin, and under the breasts, and appears as smooth, red patches.

4. Pustular psoriasis causes white, pus-filled blisters and can be localized or widespread.

5. Erythrodermic psoriasis is a rare but serious type that covers most of the body with a red, peeling rash.

6. Nail psoriasis can cause changes in the appearance and texture of the nails, including pitting, discoloration, and separation from the nail bed.

7. Scalp psoriasis can range from mild dandruff-like flaking to severe, itchy patches that extend beyond the hairline.

8. Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis that can cause joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, as well as nail changes and fatigue.
