📋Overview

This long-term inflammatory disorder occurs when the immune system triggers skin cells to grow faster than usual. This process may lead to the accumulation of cells on the surface of the skin, often appearing as thick, scaly patches or plaques.

The condition is recognized as a systemic disorder with several clinical variations. It typically follows a cycle where symptoms may flare for a period before subsiding, though the underlying immune-mediated response remains present.
