What is plaque psoriasis?

Plaque psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes patches of raised, inflamed, and red skin with silvery scales. In skin of color, plaques may be thicker, have more scales, and appear like darker areas of skin.

It’s caused by an imbalance in your immune system that disrupts the normal function of cells in your skin.

Psoriasis plaques can affect any area of skin (this includes skin in sensitive areas like your face and neck, armpits, chest/breasts, groin, and genitals). The most common areas affected by psoriasis plaques include the knees and elbows, stomach, lower back, and scalp.
