Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that causes a lot of inconvenience to a person. People with psoriasis feel insecure and uncomfortable when communicating with others. This disease has many negative social and psychological consequences.

There are about five forms of psoriasis. Psoriasis is not just a skin disease, but a complex process that indicates disorders in the functioning of the immune, endocrine, nervous systems and gastrointestinal tract. In addition, psoriasis is often inherited and once it appears, it can progress and develop into the so-called psoriatic disease, which affects the joints and internal organs.

Symptoms and causes of psoriasis

Psoriasis is manifested by characteristic inflammatory lumps in the form of pink-red papules (ulcers), and the area of the skin affected by psoriasis peels off and becomes covered with small scales. Therefore, psoriasis treatment is necessary not only to improve the health, but also the morale of the patient.

The disease is not limited to only one skin lesion. Psoriasis of nails is quite common. Treatment of such manifestation of the disease cannot be postponed until later, since in especially advanced cases, the affected nails of a patient begin to detach completely and subsequently fall out.

Causes of psoriasis development:

• fast cell division;
• stressful conditions;
•  genetic predisposition;
•  reduced immunity.
