Understanding why your skin behaves differently is the first step to managing psoriasis better. Dr. Banodkar breaks down how your immune system mistakenly attacks your own skin, triggering this rapid cell growth. 

Normally, skin cells take about a month to renew, but in psoriasis, this happens in just 3-4 days! The leads to immature skin cells coming to the surface where they further get exposed to the harsh external environment, further triggering the inflammation. 

The deranged immune system, compromised barrier and persisting inflammation make the perfect set-up to induce psoriasis.
