Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting around 2–3% of the world’s population. It is identified as thick scaling red plaques, resulting from an unusually high rate of skin cell growth. It usually involves the skin and nails, and leads to lesions which cause itching, stinging, and pain. While the main cause of psoriasis remains uncertain, several studies have reported that it is due to autoimmunity, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors. Additionally, psoriasis may be provoked by several triggers, including trauma, obesity, infection, systemic drugs, and stress
