Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. Instead of shedding normally, these cells pile up quickly on the surface, forming red, thickened, scaly patches. It is not contagious. The severity and pattern of psoriasis vary between individuals.
In some cases, joints may also be involved, leading to psoriatic arthritis.

Psoriasis is thought to result from a combination of immune system, genetic, and environmental factors. This reaction leads to rapid skin cell production and inflammation.
Genetics plays a strong role — family history increases your likelihood.
Assessment may include:
Identifying the type of psoriasis helps the dermatologist determine appropriate management options.
Psoriasis management options may be discussed during consultation. The dermatologist will assess your condition and recommend appropriate management based on your individual clinical needs. Suitability, risks, recovery, and expected outcomes vary between individuals.
Your care plan may also include nutritional support and coaching on skin routines that prevent flare-ups.
During consultation, the dermatologist will assess your condition, discuss appropriate management options, and explain the potential benefits, risks, and follow-up recommendations where appropriate. Response to treatment varies between individuals.
