Condition guide
A chronic inflammatory skin condition that can flare alongside stress, obesity, and broader metabolic strain.
In simple language
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that can cause thick, scaly, itchy, or painful patches. It is driven by immune activity, but flare severity can also be influenced by stress, sleep, smoking, alcohol, body weight, and overall metabolic health.
It is more than a skin issue. Psoriasis can affect quality of life, mood, joint health, and may travel with obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and cardiovascular risk.
