Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes skin cells to build up rapidly, resulting in thick, red, scaly patches on the skin's surface.
Symptoms of psoriasis may vary depending on the type of psoriasis, but common symptoms include thick, red, scaly patches of skin; dry, cracked skin that may bleed; itching, burning or soreness; and stiff and swollen joints.
The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental and immune system factors.
