Psoriasis
Psoriasis is common, affecting 2% of people living in the United States (1). Inflammation in the skin causes cells to grow too fast resulting in thick, scaly skin patches known as plaques. Although psoriasis plaques may be unsightly, they are not contagious. Psoriasis can have a negative social and psychological impact. Although psoriasis affects the skin, it is not just a disease of the skin. The inflammation underlying psoriasis can affect many other body parts, including the joints.
