Psoriasis

                                                   Dr. Rama And Ashok Ghuse

Psoriasis is characterised by sharply demarcated areas of skin with abnormal scaling. The fundamental abnormality is a biochemical fault in epidermal cell formation with resultant rapid turnover of cells. The fault is inherited. Precipitation factors are infection, unfavourable, emotional stress , and trauma to the skin. The affected skin is reddened and scaly. Lesions are more extensive on the extensor aspect of the limbs and the trunk. Nails show pitting.
