Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that causes scales, spots, and inflammation on the skin. It affects over 125 million people globally and can lead to pain and sleep issues. Genetics and environmental factors contribute to its cause.
There are five types:
Plaque Psoriasis: Dry, itchy patches on elbows, knees, and the scalp.
Guttate Psoriasis: Small sores, often triggered by infections like strep throat.
Inverse Psoriasis: Red patches in skin folds, worsened by sweat or friction.
Proper care and treatment are essential for managing psoriasis.
