    chronic autoimmune condition causing rapid skin cell buildup and scaling

    Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to scaling on the skin's surface. This buildup forms red patches covered with silvery scales, often accompanied by itching and pain. The most common type is plaque psoriasis, also known as psoriasis vulgaris, which typically appears on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. The exact cause is unknown, but it involves a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors.
