Once you develop it, it will tend to flare up at certain times throughout your life. Doctors can’t cure psoriasis but they can usually recommend treatment to keep it under control.
In people who have the condition, their skin cells travel to the surface in only three to seven days, rather than the normal 28 days.
As a result, more skin cells are produced, which are not mature, so they do not die and shed. Instead they build up and cause patches on the skin, which can be scaly and itchy.
