Psoriasis

Psoriasis

A very common skin disorder, psoriasis is a reddish, scaly rash often located over the surfaces of the elbows, knees, scalp, and around or in the ears, navel, genitals, or buttocks.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks its own cells. It is mediated by T-lymphocytes. Chronic plaque psoriasis affects approximately 2% of people around the world.
