What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells which causes skin cells to multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. This build-up of cells results in scaling on the skin’s surface and bumpy red patches covered with white scales.
Further, they mostly appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.
Factors Causing Psoriasis
No one knows the exact factor causing psoriasis problem but research shows that it is mainly due to two reasons: Immune system and genetics.
- Immune system- It is an autoimmune condition that results in the body to attack its own skin cells and causes plaques.
The attacks on the skin cells cause red, inflamed areas of skin to develop.
- Genetics- Some people inherit genes from their family members with similar skin conditions and make them vulnerable to develop psoriasis. However, the percentage of people causing psoriasis genetically is very small.
Though Psoriasis cannot be cured completely, there are treatments that help in reducing inflammation and slowing the growth of skin cells.
