Pathology:
In general, skin cells grow regularly and peel off about
every 4 weeks. Fresh skin cells grow to replace the outer layers of the skin as
they discard. In psoriasis new skin cells progress rapidly to the surface of
the skin in days rather than weeks. They assemble up and form thick patches
called plaques.
These patches vary in size from small to large. They most
affected are the knees, elbows, scalp, hands, feet, or lower back. Psoriasis is
most common in adults. But children and teens can get it too.
The exact cause of psoriasis unknown.
