Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that speeds up the growth cycle of skin cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Myositis (my-o-SY-tis) is a rare type of autoimmune disease that inflames and weakens muscle fibers. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s own immune system attacks itself. In the case of myositis, the immune system attacks healthy muscle tissue, which results in inflammation, swelling, pain, and eventual weakness.

Detailed explanation-3: -Experts believe psoriasis is an autoimmune disease. That means your body thinks its own tissues are foreign invaders that must be attacked. It also means that, unlike a simple rash, you can’t get rid of it with an over-the-counter skin treatment. In fact, there’s no cure for psoriasis.
