Living With Psoriasis: What It’s Really Like to Experience Psoriasis Symptoms

When you hear "psoriasis," you probably think of red, irritated skin. And while that's partially what it is, psoriasis goes much deeper than that. Psoriasis is actually a chronic condition that brings on many physical and emotional symptoms that don't just have to do with a person's skin.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that occurs when a person's immune system sends "faulty signals" and causes skin cells to grow too quickly, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) explains. As a result, skin cells pile up on the skin surface, forming those characteristic psoriasis lesions. People who suffer from psoriasis can have skin flare-ups that show up as red, scaly, and/or itchy patches—and they can surface anywhere on the body where there is skin (including the scalp, eyelids, elbows, knees, you name it). The condition is believed to caused by a combination of genetics and external factors, according to the National Psoriasis Foundation.
