When it comes to symptoms of psoriasis, what you typically see is red or pink patches of raised, thickened and scaling skin. Let’s look at the definition of Psoriasis to understand exactly what’s occurring: Psoriasis is a common, long-lasting skin condition of scaling and inflammation that changes the lifecycle of skin cells. It causes the dead cells to build up on the surface of the epidermis, and form thick, silvery scales and dry, itchy red patches of inflamed skin that are often quite painful.

Here’s a breakdown of common symptoms, according to the Mayo Clinic:

Red patches of skin covered with silvery scales
Small scaling spots (commonly seen in children)
Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
Itching, burning or soreness
Thickened, pitted or ridged nails
Swollen and stiff joints
