Abstract:
Psoriasis is a persistent, immune-mediated inflammatory disorder characterized by accelerated skin cell proliferation, resulting in sharply defined, red, scaly plaques covered with characteristic silvery-white scales. These lesions most commonly appear on the extensor aspects of the limbs (such as the outer surface of the elbows and knees), scalp, nails, sacral region, and lower back. The condition shows no specific age of onset and can develop at any stage of life, though it most frequently begins between 15 and 30 years of age, with no notable gender predominance. Reported prevalence varies between 0.2% and 4.8% across populations. Psoriasis follows a chronic, relapsing-remitting pattern throughout life.
