Psoriasis comes in forms like Plaque Psoriasis (red patches with silvery scales), Guttate Psoriasis (drop-shaped spots), Pustular Psoriasis (blisters with pus), Inverse Psoriasis (moist skin folds), and severe Erythrodermic Psoriasis (widespread redness and peeling). It’s not contagious.
Causes include genetics and immune system issues where T-cells attack healthy skin. Triggers often involve infections, alcohol, or certain drugs.
Diagnosis relies on physical exams and sometimes biopsies.
While incurable, treatments can manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
