Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent illness that is recognized by their blooms and silvery scaly plaques of various sizes (papules bulky). 
 
The peeling occurs because of a growth and an abnormally high production of skin cells. It is unknown the cause of this rapid cell growth, but it is believed that the immune mechanisms have an important role. The disease tends to affect several members of one family. The psoriasis is common and affects 2 to 4 per cent of the white population, the ethnic black are less affected. Psoriasis often starts in individuals between 10 and 40 years, but can occur at any age.
 
 Psoriasis typically begins as one or more small plates that are becoming very scaly. It is possible to form small bumps around the affected area. Despite that early plaques may disappear by themselves, then others can be formed. Some boards may have provided the size of the nail of the little finger, but others can be extended to cover large areas of the body, adopting a form of ring or spiral.
 
 Psoriasis often affects the scalp, elbows, knees, back and buttocks. The flakes can be confused with dandruff serious, but the characteristic plaques of psoriasis, scaly areas that mix with other completely normal, apart from dandruff. Psoriasis may also occur around and under the nails, that increase in thickness and is deformed. The eyebrows, armpit, navel and the English may also be affected.
 
 Usually, psoriasis produces only flaking. Not even itching is common. When you heal the areas covered with scales, skin takes a completely normal appearance and hair growth is restored. Most people with psoriasis have a few limited besides the inconvenience peeling, despite the appearance of your skin can be unpleasant.
 
 However, other people suffer extensive psoriasis (generalized) or experience serious effects as a result of this disease. Psoriatic arthritis produces symptoms very similar to those of rheumatoid arthritis. On very rare occasions, psoriasis covers the entire body and produces psoriatic dermatitis exfoliative, which ignites the whole skin. This form of psoriasis is serious because, like a burn, it prevents the skin functions as protective barrier against injury and infection. In another unusual form of psoriasis, pustulosis, forming large and small grains filled with pus (pustules) on the palms and soles. In some cases these pustules are spread throughout the body.
 
 The psoriasis may arise for no apparent reason, or result from a severe sunburn, a skin irritation, use of antimalarial medicines, lithium, beta blockers (such as propranolol and metoprolol), or even any cream or ointment. Streptococcal infections (especially children), bruises and scratches can also stimulate the formation of new plaques.
