Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes rapid build-up of skin cells. This creates thick red patches covered with silvery scales. The condition occurs when the immune system triggers increased skin cell production. It commonly affects the elbows, knees, and scalp. While not curable, various treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce inflammation.
