Understanding Psoriasis Types and Care by riri20723 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes red, scaly plaques and affects the skin, nails and sometimes joints. It occurs most often between ages 15-25 and 50-60. The most common type is plaque psoriasis, appearing as raised, well-defined red patches covered with silvery scales. Psoriasis is caused by both genetic and environmental factors and can worsen due to stress, obesity, smoking or skin injury. While there is no cure, treatment from a GP can effectively manage symptoms.
