Psoriasis (psoriasis) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease whose initial symptoms are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. Understanding its early manifestations can help with timely intervention and treatment. The following is a summary and analysis of the early symptoms of psoriasis in hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days.

| itching sensation | About 50% of patients are accompanied by mild to moderate itching, which may worsen at night | Medium frequency (45-60%) |

3. Keep the skin moist (the recent hot search #psoriasis moisturizing tips# has read 12 million times).
4. Record possible triggering factors: stress, infection, trauma, etc., and establish a personal health file.
