Psoriasis a chronic autoimmune inflammatory illness of skin.

Its symptoms are dermatological changes leading to hyperkeratosis of the epidermis.

Psoriasis is accompanied with inflammation, which may lead to multiple disorders

(metabolic, diabetes, cardiovascular, etc.)

According to the Consultation of World Psoriasis Day,

125 million people around the world - from 2% to 3% of the whole population suffers from psoriasis.

Having psoriasis increases the risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system and diabetes.

It is also connected with increased risk of non-Hodgkin's and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.


The most common symptoms of psoriasis are:

♦ patchy rash, from dandruff-like spots to large eruptions on considerable part of the body,

♦ dry, cracked skin that may bleed,

♦ small scaling spots,

♦ itching, burning or soreness of the skin,

♦ cyclic rashes that intensify over several weeks or months and then subside,

♦ rashes differing in colour.

Psoriasis increases the risk of depression of at least 11,5%.

In the case of severe psoriasis the risk factor reaches 25%.

In Poland over 1 mln people suffer from psoriasis.


In 40-60% of patients with psoriasis genetic background may be observed.

Risk factors:

♦ obciążenie genetyczne,

♦ immune disorders.

Among significant factors which trigger psoriasis are:

♦ alcohol,

♦ stres,

♦ smoking,

♦ infections,

♦ some medicaments.
