Causes and Risk Factors of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system that accelerates skin cell production. Genetics play a major role, and environmental triggers like stress, infections, and skin injuries can worsen the condition. Smoking, alcohol, and certain medications also increase the risk and severity of psoriasis.

Diagnosis of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is typically diagnosed through a physical examination of the skin, nails, and scalp by a dermatologist. If needed, a skin biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and management.
