About Psoriasis
Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis. It can appear anywhere on the body, but it is most commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. With plaque psoriasis, the skin typically becomes red and inflamed and may form white scaly patches. It can be quite painful and may itch, crack, and bleed. While psoriasis may look like just a skin disease, it is in fact a disease of the immune system. It can appear suddenly or slowly. In many cases, psoriasis goes away and then flares up again repeatedly over time. The condition cannot be spread to others. Doctors think it probably occurs when the body’s immune system mistakes healthy cells for dangerous substances.
