It’s Not Just “Dry Skin” – Understanding Psoriasis

Many people mistake psoriasis for simple dry skin. However, psoriasis is a
long-term autoimmune skin condition linked to the body’s immune system response.
It is not caused by poor hygiene and it is not contagious.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition where skin cells multiply faster than normal.
This leads to red, scaly, and sometimes itchy patches on the skin.

• Red, raised skin patches
• Dry or flaky skin
• Thickened or scaly areas
• Itching and irritation
• Recurring flare-ups

Common Areas Affected

Psoriasis may appear on different parts of the body including:

• Hands and elbows
• Knees
• Scalp
• Back and neck
• Feet

Why Awareness is Important

Many individuals ignore symptoms thinking it is only dry skin.
Early consultation helps in better management and skin care planning.
Understanding the condition reduces stigma and improves confidence.
