What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder resulted due to the hyperactive immune system. Under Psoriasis, people experience red, inflamed patches on skin covered with whitish silver scales. These patches most often appear on knees, elbow, back, scalp, nails and feet. This condition mainly occurs when skin cells proliferate profusely. Due to this rapid growth of new cells, the immature cells keep getting pushed to the top of the skin and when they reach the top they get collapsed and form thick patches on the skin. In most of the cases, these patches are not itchy, whereas few people may experience severe itching along with burning sensation.
