"If you have plaque psoriasis, the activity of certain proteins in your immune system creates a faster-than-normal skin cell cycle. This rapid cycle causes a buildup of cells on the surface of your skin, resulting in raised, red patches, often with a silvery scale. These patches are called plaques, and are the most common symptom of plaque psoriasis." 10-10

"Psoriasis appears as raised red or purple skin that is dry and covered by flaky, white scales. It usually itches and burns, and in some cases the skin may crack. Psoriasis is especially common on elbows, knees, and the scalp. It may occur in small patches, or in larger swaths. Flaking from psoriasis of the scalp may look like dandruff." 11-06
