Psoriasis

It is a persistent but benign skin disease that progresses in flare-ups. It is not contagious. It causes peeling of the skin, mainly on the elbows, knees and in the lumbar region. A flare-up is often triggered by psychological trauma in a genetically predisposed area.

Treatment: Sea bathing and sunbathing (without excess) can be beneficial. There are a number of local medications that are effective enough to reduce the extent of the lesions and improve the patients’ life.
