The Problem
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease that affects 2 in 100 people in the UK. The condition causes patches of itchy, red and flaky skin. These patches often appear on the person’s elbows, knees and scalp as small patches of red skin. The disease is believed to be caused by the immune system attacking healthy skin by mistake as a response to injury or illness. Without appropriate self-care and a healthy treatment plan, psoriasis can dramatically affect people’s lives due to its chronic and incurable nature.
