Psoriasis

Psorias Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk, and scalp. It's not contagious and affects millions of people worldwide, with prevalence varying between 1 to 8 percent globally.
Types of Psoriasis
There are five main types of psoriasis
Plaque Psoriasis: The most common type, causing dry, raised skin patches (plaques) covered with scales.
Guttate Psoriasis: Small, water-drop-shaped spots on the trunk, arms, or legs, commonly seen in children and young adults.
Inverse Psoriasis: Smooth patches of inflamed skin in the folds of the skin, usually under the breasts and around the groin and buttocks.
Pustular Psoriasis: Clearly defined pus-filled blisters, often on the palms or soles.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis: A rare, peeling rash that can cover the entire body, causing intense itching or burning.
