Treatment of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is defined as a persistent skin condition characterized by red, thickened areas of skin and abundant silvery scaling. Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition caused by overactive white blood cells, which concentrate in the skin and cause the skin cells to grow too rapidly. This rapid growth shows on the surface as a red, scaly rash.

Psoriasis is a common skin disorder affecting two out of every 100 Americans (4 to 5 million people). A person of any race or age can develop psoriasis, but most patients develop it between the ages of 15 and 35.

For some, psoriasis may be as slight as a dry patch of skin on their elbows and knees while others can have most of their body surface covered.
