Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disease. It is characterized by extremely itchy skin rash covered with silvery scales. Nails are often affected. The rash can be big or small. It can be as small as dandruff or affects a large area. Severe psoriasis causes pain or even disability. The attacks are often periodic. After a few weeks or months of attacks, it will subside or even completely disappear. But in most cases, it will come back later. Medication includes topical steroids and anti-dandruff drugs. Synthetic vitamins A and D analogues are also commonly used. Ultraviolet light is also often used to treat psoriasis.
