A Guide to Psoriasis

Psoriasis affects more than 125 million worldwide, and its effects on quality of life are apparent. The chronic disease triggers T cell activity on false pretenses, setting off other immune responses. The activation of unnecessary T cells leads to swelling, and fast turnover of skin cells. This accelerated life cycle of the cell causes scaly and sometimes painful skin patches to appear on different areas of the body. The skin condition can also lead to other co-morbidities, such as arthritis. Treatment is tailored to the individual, dependant upon symptoms and severity.
