Psoriasis
is a chronic, genetic, recurrent skin disease marked by bright red macules,
papules or patches covered with lamellated silvery scales. It tends to occur in
families; about one third of sufferers are believed to be related to a
hereditary factor.
Plaque Psoriasis
80% of psoriasis sufferers have this form. It is the most common form of Psoriasis. It appears as raised, inflamed, red lesions covered by silvery white scales. Usually found on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back.

Inverse
Psoriasis
Usually found in the armpits, groin and in the folds of the skin. The lesions are very red, smooth and shiny, without any scales.
Pustular Psoriasis
Appearing as white pustules (blisters and noninfectious pus) surrounded by red, inflamed skin. The pus consists of white blood cells (it is not an infection). Usually going in a cycle of red and inflamed skin followed by pustules and scaling.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis
A very inflammatory form of psoriasis that often affects most of the body. It appears as a fiery redness of the skin, accompanied by severe itching and pain.
Symptoms of Plaque Psoriasis
• Red and inflamed, raised lesions covered by silvery white scales
• Usually found on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back
Causes of Psoriasis
Most researches agree that the immune system is mistakenly triggered which speeds up the cycle of skin cells. Instead of normal skin cells falling off after 28 to 30 days, the psoriasis skin cells mature within 3 to 4 days, then pile up and form lesions.
Triggers of Psoriasis
• Stress
• Allergies
• Infections
• Diet
• Reactions to some types of medications/drugs
• Weather
Triggers will vary from person to person and what may cause one person with psoriasis to flare up may produce no reaction in another person.
