Cause of Psoriasis

Skin researchers believe that a biochemical malfunction results in rapid skin growth production causing psoriasis. Heredity may also be a factor.

Research has found that psoriasis may  the result of an immune system  malfunction causing inflammation of the skin and increased cellular production and turnover. Normal cellular function completes its cycle every 30 days. But in psoriasis the skin goes through this whole process in 3-6 days.
