Psoriasis is brought on by an overly reactive immune system that leads to skin inflammation. Your immune system should eliminate foreign invaders like germs if you have psoriasis in order to keep you healthy and keep you from getting sick. Instead, your immune system could mistake foreign invaders for healthy cells. Your immune system, therefore, causes swelling or inflammation, which manifests as skin plaques on the surface of your skin.

Psoriasis is diagnosed when a skin plaque appears, however, symptoms can also be related to other skin conditions, so your doctor may suggest a skin biopsy test to confirm your diagnosis. Your doctor will do this test by taking a tiny sample of skin tissue from your skin plaque to examine under a microscope.

Treatments for psoriasis try to get rid of scales and slow the rapid growth of skin cells. Options include oral or injectable drugs, light therapy, phototherapy, and lotions and ointments (topical therapy). The severity of psoriasis and how responsive it has been to prior therapies and self-care techniques will determine which treatments you utilise. Before you find a strategy that works, you might need to experiment with several medications or different combinations of treatments. The condition typically reappears even after a successful treatment.
