Psoriasis lesions on the skin of a mans wrist. Psoriasis is a common skin disease involving a large increase in the speed of epidermal (outer skin layer) cell production, which causes scaly pink patches to form that may become infected and itchy.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the effects of psoriasis on a man's wrist. Psoriasis is a prevalent skin disease characterized by an abnormal increase in the production of outer skin cells, leading to the formation of scaly pink patches that can become infected and itchy. The condition may be triggered by various factors such as infections, stress, or certain medications. In this image, we witness the visible impact of psoriasis on the patient's arm. The patchy lesions serve as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by individuals living with this dermatological disorder. As we observe closely, we gain insight into the importance of medical intervention and care for those affected by psoriasis. The photograph highlights different treatment approaches employed to alleviate symptoms associated with psoriasis. Ointments play a crucial role in managing mild cases initially, while more severe instances often require phototherapy and systemic drugs to achieve optimal results. Science Photo Library has expertly captured not only an aesthetically striking image but also one that educates viewers about this common skin condition. By shedding light on psoriasis through visual storytelling, they contribute to raising awareness about its impact on patients' lives and emphasize the significance of dermatology in providing effective healthcare solutions.
