Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin that can be itchy and painful. Although psoriasis is not contagious, it can be physically and emotionally debilitating.

Psoriasis is a complex condition that involves the immune system, genetics, and environmental factors. Research has shown that people with psoriasis have a gene that makes them more likely to develop the condition. However, not everyone with the gene will develop psoriasis, and other factors, such as infections and stress, can trigger a flare-up.

The science of psoriasis is complex, but researchers have made significant strides in understanding the underlying mechanisms of the condition. It is now known that psoriasis results from an overactive immune system that causes skin cells to grow too quickly and form patches on the skin. This overactivity is thought to be due to genetic and environmental factors
