WHAT IS PSORIASIS? A common, life -long, genetic, autoimmune skin disease Characterized by well circumscribed areas of thick, red, scaly skin From the greek“ soros” meaning"rough scabby? Term first used( along with“ lepra”)by Hippocrates(460-377 B. C )in Corpus Hippocraticum von Hebra first to distinguish psoriasis from leprosy in 1841
