The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that lead to itchiness and pain. Psoriasis occurs due to overactive immune system and the symptoms include flaking, inflammation, and thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin. Scales typically develop on joints, such elbows and knees. They may develop anywhere on the body, such as on hands, feet, neck, chest, scalp or even on face.
