What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that speeds up the growth cycle of skin cells in days rather than weeks and requires a specific Psoriasis medication to treat it. As these cells pile up on the surface of your skin, they cause raised, red or silvery, scaly patches to appear. Psoriasis is most prevalent on the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, palms, and soles of feet. Psoriasis occurs mostly in adults but can develop at any age and most often between the ages of 15-35 and require specific prescription meds for Psoriasis. Though rare, 10-15% of Psoriasis reactions (Psoriasis rx) and cases can also appear in children before the age of 10.
