About Psoriasis in Bengaluru
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition in which the immune system causes skin cells to grow much faster than normal, leading to thick, scaly patches called plaques that commonly appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. The rapid skin cell turnover results in a buildup of cells on the skin's surface before old cells can be shed properly. It follows an unpredictable course with periods of flares and remission, and can be triggered or worsened by stress, infections, and certain medications. Beyond the skin, psoriasis is associated with joint inflammation and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
