 What
is psoriasis ? |
Description:
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease which affects the skin and
joints. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the
skin. The scaly patches caused by psoriasis are often called
psoriasis plaques or lesions. Psoriasis plaques are areas of
excessive skin cell production and inflammation. Skin rapidly
accumulates at these sites and sometimes takes a silvery-white
appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and
knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals.
Psoriasis is not contagious; it cannot be passed from person to
person.
