\n<\/video><\/p>\n\nPsoriasis is an autoimmune disorder thought to happen when your white blood cells produce too much of certain chemicals, in turn triggering inflammation. This causes skin cells to form and die much quicker than normal; that leads to a thick buildup of cells on your skin. The buildup takes the form of the silvery-red plaques that are characteristic of psoriasis.\n<\/p>\n\nAlthough the most visible symptoms show up on your skin, psoriasis can have other complications, including increasing your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and Crohn\u2019s disease.\n<\/p>\n\nOnce you have psoriasis, you\u2019re never going to completely get rid of it, but your symptoms can come and go. Flares or flare-ups of the condition can be triggered by a number of things; avoiding your triggers can help you keep your symptoms under control for longer.
