General Health Information

Regardless of the area of the body affected, most symptoms of psoriasis
are the same. They can affect just about any region of the skin they
want and often cause discomfort and itching to the people with
psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic, non contagious skin disease that is
thought to possibly be related to an immune cell disorder. The abnormal
immune cells cause the appearance of the rash and the symptoms. This
theory isn’t entirely proven and more research is being done to learn
more. It is hoped that once the true cause of psoriasis is discovered,
doctors and patients will be able to do more to prevent and cure this
common skin disease.
