Men twice as likely to develop psoriasis due to hormonal, genetic, and lifestyle factors.

Men are twice as likely to develop psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by thick, red, scaly patches, due to hormonal differences, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle choices. Environmental triggers like stress, smoking, and alcohol consumption, as well as occupational hazards, can exacerbate psoriasis symptoms.
