Psoriasis is a noncontagious, lifelong skin disease that affects more than 4.5 million adults in the United States. The most common form, plaque pronounced plak psoriasis, appears as raised, red lesions covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells, called scale. About 10 percent to 30 percent of people with psoriasis also develop psoriatic sore-ee-AA-tic arthritis, which causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints. The hands, feet, wrists, ankles, knees and lower back are most often affected by this type of arthritis. Three percent to 10 percent of the body affected by psoriasis is considered to be a moderate case. More than 10 percent is considered severe. The palm of the hand equals 1 percent of the skin. However, the severity of psoriasis is also measured by how psoriasis affects a persons quality of life. Psoriasis can have a serious impact even if it involves a small area, such as the palms of the hands or soles of the feet.
