I didn't, but according to PsoriasisNet, it is: "an inflammatory skin condition."

Oh i do, one of my neighbors had it just on the palm of her hands it was like someone took the first layer off just all red.... while my friends husband had it all over his body.. it just like dry flaky white skin all over and very painful.
He finally has gotten a cured .. there is a drug you inject once a week. First made for people with arthritis, they found out it cleared skin of those patients with psoriasis. So now his skin is totally clear and he is feeling like a normal human being again.

Yup, its actually considered to be a skin disease. When you have psoriasis you would have patchy skin that is red with whitish patchy scaly like skin in that area. Most common places for it is legs and elbows as well as on the scalp. Most commonly affected is the knees and elbows.

That's similar to hyperkeratosis. Some people have it really bad but others just a bit on the elbows or knees and doctors are never sure what it is.

yes it is when the cells think that the skin is hurt when it is not and so it sends more cells and over heals the skin. My husband has it and that is the most simple way that the doctor and I can explain it.
