Psoriasis
Gentle release and Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes flaky patches of skin that form scales. These patches normally appear on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, but can appear anywhere.
Most people are only affected by small patches. In some cases, the patches can be itchy or sore. People with psoriasis have an increased production of skin cells. Although the process is not fully understood, it's thought to be related to a problem with the immune system. The immune system is your body's defense against disease and infection, but it attacks healthy skin cells by mistake in people with psoriasis. Many people's psoriasis symptoms start or become worse because of a certain event, known as a trigger. Although psoriasis is just a minor irritation for some people, it can significantly impact the quality of life for those more severely affected.
