Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition, that is non infectious (does not spread from person to person) . The term 'Psora' means to 'scale' in Latin and has no relevance to 'sori' as in Tamil. Due to a more local sounding name - many wrong meanings and assumptions have been added to this disease and more often patients end up seeking unnecessary advise from ill informed alternative therapists and result with extensive disease before they meet us. This is a condition that tends to recur but can be controlled easily, with early and prompt treatment.
