Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a common, chronic, and recurrent skin disease that affects 1-2% of the US population with equal frequency in both sexes. There is inflammation of the skin which appears as well-defined red areas that are often covered with silvery flakes. The most common areas affected are the scalp, nails, elbows, knees, abdomen, and lower back/buttocks. Itching may or may not be present.
Psoriasis is caused by an abnormal overgrowth of skin cells in a process driven by inflammation within the skin. Hereditary factors also contribute in about 33% of cases.
Possible treatments:
Topical agents
