Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a non-contagious, common skin complaint that
occurs when the skin cells replace themselves too quickly every few days,
compared to the normal 21-28 day cycle.
It has many different appearances, but typically ranges from
red or pink areas of thickened, raised and dry skin to big flakes of dry skin
that flake off. It tends to affect the elbows, knees, and scalp, but any area
of the body may be involved.
