How is Psoriasis different from simple dry skin?

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, not merely dry skin. It is characterized by the thick accumulation of silvery-white scales on well-demarcated red patches.

건선(Psoriasis)은 면역계 이상으로 피부 세포 교체 주기가 8배 이상 빨라지는 질환입니다.

  • 각질(인설): 세포가 탈락하지 못하고 겹겹이 쌓여 은백색을 띱니다.
  • 오스피츠 징후: 각질을 억지로 떼어내면 점상 출혈이 보입니다.
  • 차이점: 일반 건조증은 보습제로 호전되지만, 건선은 면역 치료가 필요합니다.
⚠️ 주의

각질을 억지로 떼어내면 상처가 생기고 증상이 악화됩니다(케브너 현상). 절대 뜯지 마세요.
