Dear Ken, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with me. I have in hand 12 pages of material you sent me on the day we talked. Let me say first that I congratulate you on the observations you've made on yourself and your two sons. I also congratulate you on your concerns for others with Psoriasis and your desire to help them. Treatment can reduce scaling and inflammation and sometimes clear up skin lesions.
Physicians can prescribe ointments, vitamins, light therapy and other drugs.
This unpredictable disease, which affects men and women equally and strikes people of all ages, can erupt anywhere on the body. Psoriasis lesions form when new skin cells are produced at a rapid rate. As you can see, the skin cell on the right has company. Once the invading cell attaches to the normal skin cell, this fusion results in dysfunction of normal skin production. Every cell and organ in our body gives a discrete fingerprint to the immune system.
