What is Psoriasis and how is it\ndiagnosed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Psoriasis is a chronic common\nskin condition. The condition speeds up the life cycle of skin cells hence they\nbuild up on the surface of the skin. They go on to form inflammations and red\npatches which can be itchy and painful. Psoriasis can be diagnosed without a\ntest as the inflammations are visible on the skin (skin, nails, scalp) itself.\nSometimes, in very rare cases the doctors might ask you to submit a skin sample\nto detect what type of psoriasis it is. They also want to be sure that you do\nnot have other skin disorders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
