Psoriasis:

Psoriasis (pronounced) is a chronic,
non-contagious autoimmune disease which affects the skin and joints. It
commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. The scaly
patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of
inflammation and excessive skin production. Skin rapidly accumulates at
these sites and takes on a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently
occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area
including the scalp and genitals. In contrast to eczema, psoriasis is
more likely to be found on the extensor aspect of the joint.
The disorder is a chronic recurring
condition which varies in severity from minor localized patches to
complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected
(psoriatic nail dystrophy) and can be seen as an isolated finding.
Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as
psoriatic arthritis. Ten to fifteen percent of people with psoriasis
have psoriatic arthritis.
Psorisicum RA-32
is the most effective medicine for the patients having Psoriasis
problems.
