With psoriasis, skin cells do this in only three or four days. “Normal skin cells completely grow and shed (fall off) in a month. “This occurs because the overactive immune system speeds up skin cell growth,” according to the National Psoriasis Foundation. While the cause for psoriasis remains unclear, when triggered, it produces inflammation in the body that can lead to flare-ups of red, itchy patches of raised skin. But that’s changing thanks to celebrities with psoriasis like Kim Kardashian and LeAnn Rimes, who have been using their platforms to share their own personal journeys of living with the condition. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease affecting nearly 7.4 million Americans, but from the way it’s discussed, you’d hardly know.
