🔬 What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a long-term autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly speeds up skin cell turnover, causing thick, scaly, red or silvery patches (plaques) — most commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. It is not contagious, but flares can be triggered by stress, infections, certain medications, and skin injury.

💡 In simple words
Psoriasis is a long-term immune condition that makes skin cells build up too fast, forming thick, scaly patches that may look red, purple or darker than the skin around them. It is not contagious. It can usually be well controlled with creams, light therapy, tablets or injections (biologics), though it may flare up at times.

| Treatment | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Topical therapy | Corticosteroid or vitamin D creams applied directly to plaques — first-line for mild disease |
| Phototherapy (Narrowband UVB) | Controlled UV light exposure 2–3 times weekly to slow skin cell growth |
| Systemic medication | Oral drugs (e.g. methotrexate) for moderate-to-severe disease |
| Biologics | Injectable drugs targeting TNF-α, IL-17, IL-12/23 or IL-23 — highest efficacy for severe/resistant cases |
