Psoriasis Treatment In Patna

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, causing them to build up rapidly on the surface. This leads to red, itchy, scaly patches that may crack and cause discomfort. While psoriasis is non-contagious, it significantly impacts quality of life and self-confidence.

Types of Psoriasis

1. Plaque Psoriasis (Psoriasis Vulgaris) – Most common, causes thick red patches with silvery scales.

2. Guttate Psoriasis – Small, drop-shaped spots, often triggered by infections.

3. Inverse Psoriasis – Red, shiny patches in skin folds.

4. Pustular Psoriasis – White pustules surrounded by inflamed skin.

5. Erythrodermic Psoriasis – Severe, rare form causing widespread redness and scaling.

Common Symptoms

• Red, inflamed patches covered with silvery-white scales

• Itching, burning, or soreness

• Dry, cracked skin that may bleed

• Thickened or ridged nails

• Joint pain (in case of psoriatic arthritis)
