Psoriasis
Psoriasis
In Ayurveda, “Kithibha” is a well-known condition that results in plaques, which are itchy or painful patches of thick, red, dry skin. Any area of the body might be impacted by psoriasis.
There are varying rates of psoriasis in all racial groupings. Although it can happen at any age, psoriasis frequently affects people between the ages of 15 and 35.
The most common complaint among those who have psoriasis is itching. Particularly when psoriasis affects the scalp, palms of the hands, or soles of the feet, people experience itching. Around the scales, inflammation and redness are frequent. Psoriatic scales typically have a whitish-silver colour and appear as dense, crimson spots. These patches occasionally fracture and bleed.
