So instead of a normal cycle of 28-30 days the skin matures and moves to the surface in just 3-4 days. This rapid growth of skin results in thickened skin and excessive shedding of the scales.
Some external stressors generally serve as trigger for the inherited defect in immune system. Some common ones are infections, stress, injury, certain medications, cold climate and alcohol.
