Psoriasis is an auto-immune disease that is most like to flare up when the body is under stress. It can normally be identified by raised red patches covered with silvery a white scale, which is a build up of cells waiting to be shed. Psoriasis, whilst normally found on the elbows and knees, can affect any part of the body, ranging from small patches that are just a few millimetres wide to covering most of the body, it can also be itchy and sore.

When choosing products, try to avoid highly perfumed products, looking instead for products that have high carrier oil content, to help to soothe the skin.
