Approximately 7.5 million Americans have psoriasis.
This non-contagious condition can lead to psoriatic arthritis and cardiovascular disease, affecting overall health and well-being.
There are five types of psoriasis,
with plaque psoriasis being the most common. It appears as raised, red patches with a silvery buildup of dead skin cells.
Psoriasis causes itching, pain, and bleeding,
leading to physical discomfort and emotional distress. Visible skin inflammation can significantly impact one's confidence and quality of life.
Diagnosis involves a skin examination, family medical history, lifestyle discussion, and possibly a skin biopsy.
This helps in accurately identifying and understanding the condition.
