These are raised, inflamed areas of skin that are frequently covered with thick, silvery-white scales. The patches can vary in size and are commonly located on the elbows, knees, lower back, and scalp. Dry, Cracked Skin:
The skin may become dry and crack, often leading to bleeding. This is especially prevalent in areas where scales have formed. Itching and Burning:
Affected areas often experience intense itching and a burning sensation, which can cause significant discomfort. Thickened or Ridged Nails:
Psoriasis can also affect the nails, leading to thickening, pitting, or ridges.
