	Psoriasis
		Psoriasis is a common skin condition where the skin develops areas that become thick covered with silvery scales.
		Psoriasis flare-ups may be triggered by changes in climate, infections, stress, excess alcohol, a drug-related rash and dry skin.
		Other patterns psoriasis can appear in are "inverse" (shiny, red patches in areas of friction such as in the folds of skin in the groin, the armpits or under the breasts), pustular (blisters of noninfectious pus on red skin), or "erythrodermic" (reddening and scaling of most of the skin).

	The Facts about Psoriasis
		Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease of scaling and inflammation that affects up to 7.5 million people in the US.
		Psoriasis is a skin disorder driven by the immune system, especially involving a type of white blood cell called a T cell.
