A very severe case of Psoriasis, A young boy came to my clinic today.He was in very much trouble,He had full body involvement of Psoriasis.
Psoriasis signs and symptoms can vary from person to person but may include one or more of the following: ■Red patches of skin covered with silvery scales
■Small scaling spots (commonly seen in children)
■Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
■Itching, burning or soreness
■Thickened, pitted or ridged nails
■Swollen and stiff joints
Psoriasis patches can range from a few spots of dandruff-like scaling to major eruptions that cover large areas. Mild cases of psoriasis may be a nuisance. But more severe cases can be painful, disfiguring and disabling.
Most types of psoriasis go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a time or even going into complete remission. In most cases, however,the disease eventualy returns.
