Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells and leads to scaling.
This buildup of cells causes scaly skin.
Some people do have inflammation around their hair follicles.
Typical psoriasis is red and scaly. It’s often called the “dandruff of the scalp” because it develops as a thin, silvery scale.
This patch may have cracks and bleeds, but that’s normal.[Treatment of hyperkalemia with hemodialysis in a patient with chronic kidney disease].
Psoriasis is the result of a sped-up skin production process and causes dandruff on skin.
When skin cells grow in your skin, they go from the bottom up.
Eventually, they’ll fall off. Skin cells typically live a month.
In people with psoriasis, this production process may take place within just a few days.
This causes skin cells to stay longer than they would normally.
It's been estimated that we produce about a million cells every second and each one is replaced about every 28 days. With that many new cells created each second, it's not surprising that we need to eliminate the old ones!
You’re probably already familiar with the development of scales on your elbow or knee, but did you know that other joints often also develop scales?
Psoriasis often affects the hands, the feet, the neck, the scalp, the face, the arms, the knees, the groin, the thighs, the buttocks, the back, and the lower legs.
There are four main types of psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis is the most common type of psoriasis in all diffrent types. Plaque psoriasis affects about 80 percent of people who have it. It's called eczema and it causes red, itchy patches of skin. These are usually covered with whitish or silver scales or plates. These plaques are commonly found on the elbow, knee, and scalp. Gutted psoriasis is common in childhood, but may occur at any age. This type of psoriasis causes small pink or red spots that appear in the same pattern over your body. It's commonly found on the elbows, knees, and scalp. Guttate psoriasis tends to affect the torso, arms, and legs. These spots are not as thick or raised like plaque psoriasis. Pustular psoriasis is more common in adults. This infection causes white or yellow pus-filled blisters and large areas of red, inflamed skin. Pustular psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by small blisters and red patches. It typically involves your hands, feet, and scalp, but it can be more widespread. Psoriasis may feel like a red, scaly rash that covers large areas of the body. Inverse psoriasisIt's found in skin folds. Eczema is an inflammatory skin disease that causes bright, scaly patches of inflamed skin. Sometimes these patches of red, shiny, inflamed skin look like they’re being scratched away.
