Psoraisis

Were you looking for information about Psoriasis? Psoraisis is a common misspelling of psoriasis.

When T cells in your body become too active, they can set off other immune responses and cause a skin condition called psoriasis. People with this disorder typically have patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales on their knees, elbows, lower back, and other parts of their body. As soon as a psoriasis diagnosis is made, your healthcare provider may recommend topical creams or ointments, light therapy, and systemic treatment (oral or injectable psoriasis medications).
