Psoriasis

Not to long ago, I was speaking with someone recently diagnosed with Psoriasis and I wondered just how much people knew about it.

Psoriasis is a skin disorder which can appear like a skin rash or silver flakes, red irritated/inflamed skin. It can appear anywhere on the body.

As reported by NAMCS and NHAMCS demographics(2006-2007), In the US alone over 672 thousand are diagnosed every year. The average age is 53. Seems to affect men more then women. The actually cause is still unknown but there are theories.

Some suggest that diet plays a part. Deficiency in certain vitamins and minerals. Other theories are environmental, life stress, obesity and more. In essence, no one knows for sure but there are treatments.

See this recent article written by the Mayo-clinic to provide better insight.

As always, Be Blessed, Be Healthy and Be Beautiful!
