1. Definition

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune skin condition characterized by red, scaly, itchy patches that often appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, or lower back. It involves accelerated skin cell turnover resulting in thickened, inflamed plaques.

2. Types

• Plaque Psoriasis: The most common form, marked by raised, red patches with silvery scales.
• Guttate Psoriasis: Small, drop-shaped lesions typically triggered by infections.
• Inverse Psoriasis: Smooth, red patches in body folds (like underarms).
• Pustular Psoriasis: White pustules surrounded by red skin.
• Erythrodermic Psoriasis: Highly inflamed, widespread redness covering large skin areas.

3. Causes

• Genetic Predisposition: Often runs in families; a combination of genes can increase susceptibility.
• Immune System Dysfunction: Immune cells mistakenly accelerate skin cell growth, causing inflammation and plaque formation.
• Environmental Triggers: Stress, infections, dry weather, skin injuries, certain medications, or lifestyle factors can exacerbate the condition.
• Autoimmune Factors: As an immune-mediated illness, the body’s defense mechanism turns overactive and attacks healthy skin cells.
