Does it run in your family, or are you experiencing a temporary occurrence of it? Mu is a valid answer if combined with an explanation.

I just felt like posting something random that would go to my postcount.

Oh great, another Pope.

That was what my fellow peers called me when I was younger, actually. But that's because my name is John-Paul.

Heh. My manager has psoriasis and it sucks. I got a blister on my thumb from mowing and the anti-microbial soap at work makes it so much worse. He claimed mine turned into a psoriasis-like condition and I have a large scar there now.

I might have psoriasis.

umm.. no clue what it is. care to enlighten me?

From Wiki: Psoriasis (pronounced /səˈraɪəsɪs/) (suh-RI-uh-sus) is a disorder which affects the skin and joints. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. The scaly patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and takes on a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals.

The disorder is a chronic recurring condition which varies in severity from minor localised patches to complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected (psoriatic nail dystrophy) - and can be seen as an isolated finding. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis. Ten to fifteen percent of people with psoriasis have psoriatic arthritis.

The cause of psoriasis is not known, but it is believed to have a genetic component. Several factors are thought to aggravate psoriasis. These include stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking.[1] Individuals with psoriasis may suffer from depression and loss of self-esteem. As such, quality of life is an important factor in evaluating the severity of the disease. There are many treatments available but because of its chronic recurrent nature psoriasis is a challenge to treat.
