Psoriasis is caused by an overactive immune system that speeds up skin cell growth, leading to itchy, scaly patches. This process can be triggered by genetic factors, infections, stress, or certain medications.

⚕️ Causes of Psoriasis

• The immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, causing inflammation and rapid cell turnover.
• Genetic predisposition often plays a role, meaning it can run in families.
• External triggers such as infections, stress, skin injury, or some medicines can provoke flare-ups.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

If you have persistent or worsening skin symptoms, it’s important to consult a dermatologist who can recommend appropriate treatment options tailored to your condition.
