Psoriasis is a chronic non- contagious inflammatory skin disorder in which rapid skin cell reproduction occurs. It is characterized by itchy reddish patch covered by silvery scales. It commonly occurs due to wrong functuning of immune system specially on scalp, ears, genital area and skin over bony prominence.
                               The scaly patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production.
