Psoriasis and Chronic Skin Disorders

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin. It results from an overactive immune system that accelerates skin cell turnover. Chronic skin disorders, including eczema and dermatitis, often share symptoms like itching and inflammation but have distinct underlying causes. Effective management involves a combination of topical treatments, systemic medications, and lifestyle adjustments. Emphasis on early diagnosis and tailored therapies is crucial for improving quality of life and minimizing flare-ups. Advances in research continue to enhance understanding and treatment options for these persistent skin conditions.
