Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells, resulting in thick, red, and scaly patches on the skin.
Treatment options for psoriasis depend on the severity and individual preferences. Topical medications are used for mild to moderate cases, reducing inflammation and cell growth when applied directly to affected areas. For more severe cases, oral pills or injectable biologics targeting specific immune pathways are effective, leading to significant symptom improvement.
