Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common chronic autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to build up rapidly, resulting in thick, scaly patches often accompanied by itching, redness, and discomfort. While there's no cure for psoriasis, effective treatments can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life.
