Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a difficult skin condition that manifests itself as itchy, scaly, red patches of skin. It is caused by an autoimmune condition where skin cells replicate too quickly, and it is not contagious. This means that immature skin cells appear on the surface of the skin most often on the knees, elbow, or other joints, leading to discoloration and flakiness. Studies have shown that often depression and anxiety can be linked to the appearance of psoriasis as well.
