Were you looking for information about Psoriasis? Psoriazis is a common misspelling of psoriasis.
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when T cells (a type of white blood cell) in the body become too active, which can set off other immune responses and lead to swelling and fast turnover of skin cells. Most psoriasis results in patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales that can itch or feel sore. Your healthcare provider will recommend treatment (which generally includes medications and light therapy) based on how serious the condition is and the size of the patches.
