Psoriasis is an inflammatory condition that affects the skin.
When a person has psoriasis, they will develop patches of discolored, scaly skin on different parts of the body. Skin discoloration will vary depending on a person’s skin tone and the type of psoriasis they have.
Psoriasis tends to be pink or red on those with light or fair skin tones and the scale silvery white. On medium skin tones it can appear salmon-colored and silvery-white scale. On darker skin tones the psoriasis could look violet and the scale gray. Or it can also appear dark brown and difficult to see.
These patches will often worsen or flare and then go into remission. Remission is a period where symptoms of psoriasis disappear completely.
