Psoriasis a chronic skin inflammatory condition that can appear anywhere in the body and is characterized by red, inflamed, and scaly lesions. The condition is caused due to the overproduction of skin cells, and the skin cannot properly shed the skin cells, which leads to the build-up of cells on the skin surface. The skin cells multiply at a very fast rate and build upon the skin surface and die and form patches that are sore, itchy, and painful. Genetic or environmental factors cause the condition.
