Common Skin Conditions

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a skin disease that affects 1-2% of the population. The classic psoriasis lesion is a sharply demarcated, raised red plaque, covered with silvery-scales. The elbows, knees and scalp are commonly affected. Some patients also develop arthritis. Psoriasis can run in families but other factors are also involved in who develops the disease. There is no cure for psoriasis but your dermatologist can prescribe creams, pills, or injectable medicines to control it.
