pain and itching of the skin,
the appearance on the body of chopped nodules – papules that peel and can bleed,
swelling, redness.
Psoriasis most often develops in people under 30 years of age. Since this disease is non-infectious, it is impossible to contract psoriasis. However, due to social stigma and the severe course of the disease, patients with such a pathology are prone to neurosis and depression. The result is social isolation and deterioration of the patient’s mental health.
