Prevalence of psoriasis2
Typically4
  • Psoriasis of the ear typically involves the ear canal and appears as redness with white scale. (skinsight.com)
  • Psoriasis typically has sharp boundaries between normal skin and involved areas. (skinsight.com)
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) notes that oral herpes is typically asymptomatic, so a person may not experience symptoms. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • That shedding of skin cells that have gone through their life cycle (typically around a month) is essential, but for people with psoriasis the skin cell life cycle is shortened drastically and that's at the root of the problem. (canadapharmacy.com)
Scaly patches1
  • In case of psoriasis, White Blood Cells (WBCs) known as T cells mistakenly attack the skin cells and may cause the skin cell production to go into overdrive and build up in thick, scaly patches on the skin. (biocon.com)
Elbows1
  • A description of what psoriasis looks like is straightforward - thick, red scaling on the skin and usually around the elbows, knees, and hands. (canadapharmacy.com)
