Psoriasis is a noncontagious, chronic skin disease that produces plaques of thickened, scaly skin. The dry flakes of silvery-white skin scales result from the excessively rapid proliferation of skin cells. Psoriasis is fundamentally an immune system problem. Psoriasis commonly affects the skin of the elbows, knees, and scalp.

The spectrum of this autoimmune disease ranges from mild with limited involvement of small areas of skin to severe psoriasis with large, thick plaques to red inflamed skin affecting the entire body surface.

Psoriasis can be seen in people of any age, from babies to seniors, most commonly patients are first diagnosed in their early adult years. The self-esteem and quality of life of patients with psoriasis is often diminished because of the appearance of their skin.

Causes 

A combination of elements, including genetic predisposition and environmental factors, are involved. It is common for psoriasis to be found in members of the same family. Defects in the immune system and the control of inflammation are thought to play major roles. Certain medications like beta-blockers have been linked to psoriasis.

Different types of psoriasis

There are several different forms of psoriasis-

1-    plaque psoriasis or psoriasis vulgaris (common type), 

Plaque psoriasis appears as red or pink small scaly bumps that merge into plaques of raised skin. Plaque psoriasis classically affects skin over the elbows, knees, and scalp and is often itchy. Although any area may be involved, plaque psoriasis tends to be more common at sites of friction, scratching, or abrasion. Sometimes pulling off one of these small dry white flakes of skin causes a tiny blood spot on the skin.

2-    guttate psoriasis (small, drop-like spots)

Guttate psoriasis appears as bumps or small plaques of red itchy, scaling skin that may appear explosively, affecting large parts of the skin surface. 

3-    inverse psoriasis (in the folds like of the underarms, navel, groin, and buttocks)

In inverse psoriasis, genital lesions, especially in the groin and on the head of the penis, are common. Psoriasis in moist areas like the navel or the area between the buttocks (intergluteal folds) may look like flat red plaques without much scaling.

4-    pustular psoriasis (small pus-filled yellowish blisters).

pustular psoriasis rapid onset of groups of small bumps filled with pus on the torso. Patients are often systemically ill and may have a fever.

5-    Erythrodermic psoriasis appears as extensive areas of red skin often involving the entire skin surface. Patients may often feel chilled.
