    Glossary Psoriatic Lesions

    inflamed, red, and scaly skin patches from an overactive immune response

    Psoriatic lesions, also known as psoriasis plaques, are areas of inflamed, red, and scaly skin that occur due to an overactive immune response. These lesions are characterized by an accelerated skin cell turnover, leading to the buildup of thick, silvery scales and itchy, dry patches that can be painful. They commonly appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, but can affect any part of the body.
