What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, itchy, scaly patches. It occurs due to an accelerated skin production cycle, resulting in a buildup of cells on the skin’s surface. It may also involve nails and scalp. There may be other associated health conditions seen with psoriasis such as arthritis, inflammation of the eyes, inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic syndrome. In recent years, there are many advances offering patients more treatment options. These include topicals, oral medications and injectables.
