SKIN CONCERN:
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. It is characterised by defined, red and scaly plaques (thickened skin). There are several subtypes of psoriasis.
It affects 2-4% of males and females and may start at any age. The severity of the psoriasis will fluctuate.
The usual presentation is of symmetrically distributed red, scaly plaques that have well-defined edges. The colour of the scale is usually a silvery white except in skin folds where they appear shiny.
