INTRODUCTION
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin characterized by hyperproliferation of keratocytes. The basic pathology is that the skin cells grow abnormally faster. The normal course is that new cell replaces dead cells when they shed off. The rapid growth of new skin cells leads to accumulation before the dead skin cells shed, resulting in thick patches of dry skin with itching. It is not contagious and has a fluctuating course with remissions and relapses.
DIAGNOSIS
Proper examination and history taking are the keys to diagnosis since the patches and silvery scaling are by itself diagnostic.
It is sometimes difficult to diagnose since it mimics many other skin diseases.
There are no specific blood tests to diagnose psoriasis. To rule out other conditions, a skin biopsy can be done.
