Psoriasis is a common immune-meditated chronic skin disease often characterized as red, scaly plaques that itch, burn, sting, and bleed easily. Psoriasis afflicts approximately 125 million people worldwide; more than 90% of patients have the mild to moderate form. It is incurable and can only be treated for symptomatic relief.
