PSORIASIS Is a common long lasting skin disease with universal distribution. It is disfiguring disabling and causes physical social and emotional morbidity. In many patients, stress is responsible for the initial presentation or exacerbation of the disease. Initially, it may be restricted to the scalp for prolonged periods and is easily confused with dandruff. It is identified by its characteristic dull pink to vivid red colored, well demarcated and raised patches. The surface is covered with dead silvery skin light scratching of the lesions yields the classic silvery scales.

    Lesions on the nails, elbows, knees and scalp are extremely common. The lesions are typically circular in appearance, but numerous other shapes may be encountered In psoriatic lesions, the epidermis proliferates far more rapidly than usual. Abnormalities in the immune system also play a role in the etiology of psoriasis. Immunofluorescent techniques have detected numerous antibodies in the psoriatic skin. Acute or chronic irritation of the affected area frequently leads to resistant psoriasis. Hence patients must be advised to refrain from rubbing or scratching their lesions It is not contagious in nature and there is no risk of contracting the disease by personal contact. Tachyphylaxis often occurs with steroid therapy necessitating changes from one drug to another. Long term usage (more than six months) of high dose steroids typically causes rapid rebound of the disease. Further complications with steroid therapy includes thinning of the skin, cutaneous atrophy, acneform eruptions, fungal super-infections and even side effects of systemic absorption. Considerable concern has risen over the potential of oral psoralen and ultraviolet radiation A to cause cutaneous carcinogenesis, injury to the immune system and damage to the eye.
