Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder where white blood cell (T - cell) abnormality leads to rapid skin cell turnover, causing pink, scaly patches. Acne vulgaris is related to sebum and bacteria, impetigo is a bacterial skin infection (usually with yellow - crusty sores), warts are viral (caused by human papillomavirus), and eczema is a non - autoimmune inflammatory skin condition (usually with itchy, red, dry skin without the same scale pattern as psoriasis).

A. psoriasis
