Also, Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes the body to produce skin cells too quickly, leading to a buildup of thick, scaly patches on the skin. Meaning your immune system — which is supposed to protect you — gets confused and attacks healthy skin cells. It causes: • Inflammation under the skin • Overproduction of skin cells • Red, flaky, itchy, sometimes painful patches (called plaques) Even if someone has the genes for psoriasis, it often needs a trigger to flare up. Common triggers include: • Stress • Infections (like strep throat) • Cold, dry weather • Skin injuries (cuts, sunburns) • Certain medications • Smoking or heavy alcohol use I hope this helps clear up some confusion and answers curious questions about it.

that is disgusting 🤮
