Psoriasis is a very rare skin disease which makes the skin dull and patchy. Psoriasis leads to the growth of cells being too quick and the faster these cells grow the more is the lump like look found on the different areas of skin which turn red and make the appearance of the person filled with scaly skin. These patches may also crack down, and due to inflammation they may cause pain and bleeding.

However, when it comes to taking a look at this condition we may find it very rare and not everyone faces it but once this condition attaches to a person there seems no way out as the only thing in this case is reduction of symptoms to some extent only. This condition is usually found to be developed among people on areas of the body like hands, face, feet, neck and scalp of the head.

Immune System of a Person

Immune system plays a very significant role in our lives and when it comes to taking a look at the way we take it so lightly we must think twice because you never know when and what could attack over it. Similarly, the issue of psoriasis may also take place when the immune system gets attacked wrongly. The white blood cells of the body sometimes make a mistake and attack the skin cells, as soon as these skin cells are attacked by the white blood cells they tend to multiply at a faster pace and this excessive growth tends to get visible on the skin.

Genetic Impact

In many cases, it has been observed that people who have a history of psoriasis in their family are at a higher risk of developing this condition and this could also be one reason a person might get this disease.
