Psoriasis is a common chronic skin condition characterized by the rapid growth of skin cells, leading to the formation of thick, red, scaly patches called plaques. It can be itchy, uncomfortable, and even affect nails and joints in some cases. While the exact cause remains unclear, genetics and environmental factors are believed to contribute.

Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis, a common skin condition, is often surrounded by misunderstandings. Let’s clear up these myths. Firstly, psoriasis isn’t contagious, meaning you can’t catch it from others. It’s more than just dry skin, causing thick patches in various forms. Hygiene isn’t a cause, and it can impact mental health, sometimes beginning in childhood. It differs from eczema and there are treatments available. Beyond skin effects, psoriasis can lead to psoriatic arthritis and affect one’s overall well-being. While diet alone can’t cure it, proper treatment and a healthy lifestyle can help manage symptoms. Understanding these facts is vital to dispel misconceptions about psoriasis.
