About Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic, noncontagious, genetic skin disease that results
when faulty signals in the immune system prompt skin cells to regenerate too
quickly, causing red, scaly lesions that crack and bleed. Ten
percent to 30 percent of people with psoriasis also develop psoriatic
arthritis, which causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints.
