According to Psoriasis.org, 2021 – ” Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease* (a disease with an unclear cause that is characterized by inflammation caused by dysfunction of the immune system) that causes inflammation in the body. There may be visible signs of the inflammation such as raised plaques (plaques may look different for different skin types) and scales on the skin.”

Although, it is unclear what causes Psoriasis. However, according to the research, it is mainly triggered by a combination of immune disorder and genetics.
