Living Well with Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that primarily affects the life cycle of skin cells. In individuals with psoriasis, skin cells multiply at an accelerated rate, leading to the buildup of thick, scaly patches on the skin's surface. These patches can appear anywhere on the body but are most commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. Psoriasis can range from mild to severe, and while it is not contagious, it can significantly impact the quality of life for those affected.
