NEW STUDIES 1

Psoriasis – A Common Autoimmune Skin Condition
2-4% of the population have psoriasis which is a chronic activation of the immune system. This condition is characterized by red well-demarcated patches on the skin with silvery surface scales. The rash is usually symmetrical and frequently occurs on the elbows, knees and scalp, although it can occur anywhere on the body. The fingernails can show pitting or small dints. Psoriasis often runs in families and up to 30% of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis over time.
