Psoriasis is characterized by an abnormally excessive and rapid growth of the epidermal layer of the skin. Abnormal production of skin cells (especially during wound repair) and an overabundance of skin cells result from the sequence of pathological events in psoriasis.
Skin affected by psoriasis produces new skin cells every 6 to 8 days thus not allowing enough time for the older cells to dry up and slough off naturally. This is where the formation of painful plaques begins. Researchers have found that many people who have psoriatic symptoms come from a family history of psoriasis.
