Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease in which the skin production processes becomes fast, because of which the skin cells do not get time to fall off and thus keep piling up, resulting in raised inflamed patches of skin that become scaly after some time. Psoriasis is known to pass on in families, though it is non contagious. It is also found to be associated with some medical conditions like type2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, heart diseases, psoriatic arthritis, anxiety, depression, etc.
Psoriasis may be triggered by some environmental factors like skin infections, cold and dry weather conditions, injuries to skin like cut, insect bite or severe sunburn, heavy smoking and alcohol drinking, stress, withdrawal of corticosteroids and certain medications.

Psoriasis Treatment
If treatment of choice is on the basis of individualisation then medicines are prescribed considering body as a whole, on the holistic approach. For choosing individualised or personalised medicine for the patient, elaborate case taking is required, in which deep view is taken into the personal life of the patient. Patient’s disposition, his temperament, his likes and dislikes, his susceptibility, his physical generals and mental peculiarities, everything is considered while choosing the individual remedy for the person.
