What are the compensatory mechanisms psoriasis triggers?

Psoriasis triggers various compensatory mechanisms in the body, primarily involving the immune system and skin barrier function. The inflammatory response is heightened, leading to the overproduction of skin cells and the activation of T-cells, which promote further inflammation. Additionally, the skin attempts to compensate for its impaired barrier function by increasing lipid production and immune activity, aiming to restore homeostasis. Ultimately, these mechanisms can exacerbate the condition, creating a cycle of inflammation and skin turnover.
