Psoriasis is a long term chronic skin disease. This condition causes skin cells to grow quickly, resulting in thick, silvery or red patches on the surface of the skin.
Cause isn't fully known, but it's thought to be related to an immune system problem with the cells in your body. Having Psoriasis the T cells attack healthy skin cells by mistake, as if to heal a wound or fight an infection.
What causes the T cells to malfunction in people with Psoriasis isn't entirely clear.
Researchers have found genes of development of Psoriasis, but environmental factors also play a role.
