Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when there is a rapid overgrowth of skin cells. Abnormal lymphocytes from the blood triggers this rapid proliferation of skin cells. The excess skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin forming lesions. Nearly 2% of the population suffers from this disease.
Smoking and alcohol can further aggravate the condition making it difficult to treat.
