These patches are thick, reddish, and can crack or bleed at times.

It is a skin condition that affects different parts, such as the feet, hands, neck, scalp, and face.

Heredity and psoriasis:
Is there a hereditary link to psoriasis? A history of psoriasis in your family can put you at risk. But, it can also affect people with no family history of the disease. According to a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, immune cells in our body produce inflammatory molecules known as cytokines. They are small proteins that are crucial in controlling the growth and activity of other immune system cells and blood cells. It can lead to difficulty in knowing the cause and effect. Along with a genetic risk, other factors like stress, cold, HIV infection, drugs, and withdrawal of corticosteroids can lead to this skin condition.
Psoriasis can have adverse effects on the skin; but, living with this condition can be mentally exhausting. Therefore, you need to talk about your skin condition with other psoriasis patients to relieve the stress. Join psoriasis support groups; it can also help you find remedies that may help manage psoriasis symptoms better.
