OMG - I Have A Red Sore On My Cheek! Am I Going To Die?

6. Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when skin cells multiply up to ten times their normal rate. Access skin cells pile up on each other and cause a patch of red skin that is often dry, itchy and may be covered in scales. In most cases, psoriasis covers a large area of skin but small sores on the skin may develop as well. Psoriasis may be triggered by factors that stress the immune system such as stress, infections, and the common cold.
