Psoriasis

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects more than 4.5 million adults in the United States. About one quarter of people with psoriasis develop a related inflammation of the joints. Psoriasis flares can be triggered by infection, increased blood sugar (pre-diabetes), and many oral medications such as blood pressure beta-blockers. Several new therapies called biologic agents are producing substantial improvements in quality of life.
