What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a disease that causes skin inflammation. It affects about 5.5 million people in the U.S.

The most common form is plaque psoriasis. This causes scaly, whitish material to build up. Researchers believe psoriasis is caused by changes to the body’s auto-immune system. The autoimmune system helps to protect the body from disease.
