Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes flares and periods of remission. Most people experience psoriasis as plaques that form on the surface of the skin. These plaques may cause severe itching, burning, and pain.
The goal of psoriasis treatment is usually to keep symptoms under control.
A powerful way to manage psoriasis is to track your symptoms by logging your flares. You can do this using a smartphone app or even a pen and paper.
