HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE FOR PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a skin condition that affects about 2% of the population and often starts between the ages of 15 and 30. It shows up as red, scaly patches with a unique feature – if you gently scrape off the scales, you’ll see tiny bleeding spots, called the Auspitz sign. These patches are usually found on the scalp, upper back, lower back, and the outer parts of the arms and legs, especially the knees and elbows.
Distinguishing psoriasis further, roughly 25% of cases present an intriguing phenomenon – the appearance of distinctive nail pitting, which lends a unique fingerprint to this condition. Even more intriguing, in around 5% of instances, psoriatic arthritis can emerge, closely resembling rheumatoid arthritis in its clinical presentation, despite the absence of rheumatoid factor typically associated with the latter. This dual nature of psoriasis, encompassing both its dermatological and arthritic aspects, makes it a multifaceted and captivating medical challenge.
