🌿 Diving into the World of Psoriasis! 🌍
Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune skin condition, unfolds as an abnormal, rapid growth of the epidermal skin layer, triggering inflammation. 🤔 The immune system misfires, mistaking its own skin cells for invaders and launching an attack. Skin cells are replaced at an accelerated rate, resulting in premature maturation of keratinocytes (primary epidermal cells), creating scales and shedding on the skin's surface.
