Psoriasis is a persistent skin condition that indicates a high turnover of skin cells rate, which results in red, thick, skin scaly patches that may cause irritation and itching. Millions of people suffer from this common skin health condition worldwide; India isn't no exception. In India, the incidence of psoriasis can vary widely according to research that estimates approximately 0.44% to 2.8% of the population suffers. This variation is due to different climates or genetic causes and the methods used to report it in different regions of India.
The condition of the skin is a concern for people of all ages but is typically detected in adults. In India, the condition is frequently undertreated and undiagnosed because of ignorance and stigma associated with skin conditions. It has a significant negative effect on a person's health and mental well-being as well as their physical health and can lead to issues such as depression and social isolation.
Psoriasis Symptoms and Types
Psoriasis comes in many types, each having distinct characteristics. The most popular kinds of psoriasis comprise the following:
