Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition influenced by several factors:
Immune System Dysfunction:
- An overactive immune system accelerates skin cell growth, leading to the rapid buildup of cells on the skin’s surface.
Genetic Factors:
- A family history of psoriasis increases the likelihood of developing the condition.
Triggers:
- Infections, such as strep throat, can trigger psoriasis flare-ups.
- Skin injuries like cuts, scrapes, or sunburn can cause new psoriasis lesions.
- Stress, smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and certain medications can exacerbate the condition.
