Psoriasis is a very widespread chronic skin disease: it affects more than 2 million people in France. And paradoxically, psoriasis remains a little-known or at least vaguely known disease. As part of our section onpsoriasis information, we decided to address the different types of psoriasis, but also the areas of location as well as existing treatments. To have an appropriate and effective reaction, we consider it fundamental to understand the type of manifestation.
This chronic skin disease involves a disruption of the immune system. Our bodies overproduce skin cells, which results in skin lesions. Psoriasis manifests itself with redness, itching and scales. Scales are thin pieces of skin that come off.
The causes of psoriasis are quite varied and are not yet 100% understood by science. We can cite different factors such as genetic, immune or environmental factors. Several studies by researchers point out that stress and diet are often causes of psoriasis.
