Plaque psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory condition that impacts millions of people. Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis, accounting for at least 80% of cases. It occurs as a result of an overactive immune system attacking healthy skin cells which leads to an overproduction of cells and ultimately plaques. This condition is associated with several other health conditions, so early treatment proper management is important to lower this risk.

This lifelong condition is characterized by the presentation of itchy plaques on the skin’s surface. Psoriasis can be classified as mild, moderate, and severe disease.The majority of cases are classified as mild to moderate. Plaques can appear anywhere on the skin but appear most commonly on the abdomen and midsection, scalp, hands, feet, elbows, and knees. Plaques are patches of skin covered in white or silver colored scales that vary in size and are round in shape. The peak ages of onset are between 20-30 years of age and 50-60 years of age. Men and women are affected equally. Psoriasis is not contagious.

While psoriasis is less prevalent in African Americans than Caucasians, it is underdiagnosed in African Americans and people of color. This may be because psoriasis is easier to identify on lighter skin tones. Patients with psoriasis have a higher risk of developing heart disease and risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, conditions which disproportionately impact African Americans.

Symptoms of plaque psoriasis may vary from person to person.
