Psoriasis is a common skin disease that accelerates life cycle of skin cells. It causes skin cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells developed form red patches and scales that are painful and itchy. Skin injury may cause psoriatic skin changes at that spot, a phenomenon called Koebner phenomenon. Psoriasis is a chronic disease that often comes and goes.
There are five main types of psoriasis namely Plaque, Guttate, Inverse, Pustular, and Erythrodermic. Plaque psoriasis, also known as psoriasis vulgaris, is the most prevalent type of psoriasis, accounting for around 90% of reported cases. Body parts such as back of the forearms, shins, around the navel, and the scalp are the most commonly affected areas. Guttate psoriasis has drop-shaped lesions. Pustular psoriasis is characterized by the presence of small non-infectious pus-filled blisters. Inverse psoriasis forms red patches in skin folds. Erythrodermic psoriasis occurs when the rash become widespread and can develop from other types. Fingernails and toenails are affected in most people at some point of time. This may include pits in the nails or changes in nail color.
