What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis (the root of the word psoriasis is from a Greek word meaning itching), psoriasis or psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease. This disease occurs when the body’s immune system sends wrong signals. These signals increase the speed of the growth cycle of skin cells; It means the excessive increase of skin cells from the amount of shedding.

Psoriasis is not contagious. The prevalence of this disease is approximately 3%, and men and women of all races and ages are susceptible to it, and it is more common in the age group of 15 to 35 years. The main cause of psoriasis is not exactly known, but doctors believe that it is related to the body’s immune system and, of course, genetics; This means that it is passed on to the next generations.
