Abstract

Psoriasis is a common disorder characterized by marked increases in keratinocyte proliferation, abnormal patterns of keratinocyte differentiation, prominent alterations in dermal capillary vasculature and the presence of dermal and epidermal T cells, monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils. Psoriasis is one of the prevalent skin conditions. This chronic condition has a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life. Psoriasis has been linked to the depression and suicidal tendencies in the patients. Our objective of this study is to increase awareness among the people and to help them understand more precisely about this great enemy of mankind.
