Psoriasis (More Than Just A Rash!)

Psoriasis is one of the most common skin diseases in the world. A few years ago, it was treated as a disease of the skin, but recent discoveries have transformed that perspective. The prevalence of psoriasis in the world today is about 3%. With a strong genetic predisposition. It is no wonder that the prevalence of psoriasis varies from population to population. And as the store of knowledge regarding psoriasis grows, so too have the therapeutic options to treat psoriasis. Savvy doctors today know that they can no longer write a prescription for a steroid cream and send their psoriasis patients on their merry way. The disease is much too involved for that, and the new “biologicals,” have made the treatment of psoriasis ever more effective. Because of the major psychological and physiological impact the disease has on sufferers, it is ever more important that people who suffer with psoriasis be kept up to date on the multifaceted nature of psoriasis. It may save their lives.
