What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated condition that causes the body to provide skin cells at a much faster rate than necessary or normal. Under typical conditions, skin cells grow and naturally shed over the course of about a month. With psoriasis, an overactive immune response accelerates this process, causing new cells to rise to the surface in just a few days. Because the skin doesn’t have the time it needs to properly shed, these cells build up and form thick, scaly, inflamed patches of skin that can feel itchy and tender. It can appear nearly anywhere on the body, but it tends to gravitate towards the elbows, knees, scalp, eyelids, ears, hands, feet, and nails. For some individuals, psoriasis can be linked to internal inflammation and may be associated with a form of joint disease that causes pain and stiffness called psoriatic arthritis.
What Are the Common Causes of Psoriasis?
The most common cause of psoriasis is when the immune system becomes overactive and mistakenly speeds up the skin’s natural cell renewal cycle. Instead of shedding over the course of a month, new skin cells rise to the surface in just a few days, creating the thick, scabby, or scaly patches characteristic of the condition. While the exact reason for this immune response isn’t fully understood, research shows that psoriasis is influenced by genetics, immune function, and environmental triggers. Certain triggers can also play a role in activating or worsening flare-ups, including stress, infections, skin injuries, cold weather, smoking, alcohol use, and even some medications.

Psoriasis FAQS
Is psoriasis contagious?
No, psoriasis is not contagious. It cannot be spread through touch, sharing personal items, or close contact. It is an immune‑mediated condition, not any type of skin infection, so feel free to hug your friends and family without embarrassment or hesitation.
Can psoriasis go away on its own?
Psoriasis is a chronic condition, which means symptoms can improve on their own or go into remission on their own; however, the underlying tendency toward flare-ups does not disappear. With proper treatment and trigger management, many patients experience long periods of clear or nearly clear skin.
What lifestyle changes can help reduce psoriasis flare‑ups?
Practicing stress management, using gentle skincare, avoiding harsh products, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, using gentle forms of exfoliation, hydrating with dermatologist-approved creams, and protecting the skin from injury can all help reduce flare‑ups. Additionally, identifying personal triggers is also an important part of long‑term control.
Can psoriasis affect the nails or scalp?
Yes, psoriasis can appear on the scalp, nails, and anywhere that skin cells regenerate. Nail psoriasis may cause pitting, discoloration, or lifting, while scalp psoriasis can lead to flaking, redness, and itching patches underneath the hair. Dr. Ramani can offer you targeted treatments for these areas.
What’s the difference between psoriasis and eczema?
While both conditions cause inflammation and irritation, psoriasis typically produces thick, scaly, almost scabby patches of plaque, whereas eczema often appears as itchy, dry, or oozing patches. A dermatologist can distinguish between the two and recommend the most effective treatment.
