A pathologist may assist with diagnosis by conducting a biopsy: that is, examining a small skin sample under a microscope.

locations for Psoriasis?

3. Psoriasis is a long-lasting skin disease that results in patches (called
plaques) of thick, red skin covered with silvery scales. It occurs because
cells in the outer layer of the skin multiply faster than normal, and pile up
on the skin's surface. A normal skin cell matures in 28 to 30 days and is
shed from the skin's surface unnoticed. But a psoriatic skin cell takes only
3 to 4 days to mature, and moves to the surface much earlier. The surplus
growth of cells piles up and forms elevated red lesions that are a common
symptom in psoriasis sufferers.

4. Guttate psoriasis - Small, drop-like lesions appear on the trunk,
limbs, and scalp. Guttate psoriasis is most often triggered by bacterial
infections (for example, Streptococcus).
Pustular psoriasis - Blisters of noninfectious pus appear on the skin.
Attacks of Pustular psoriasis may be triggered by medications,
infections, emotional stress, or exposure to certain chemicals. Pustular
psoriasis may affect either small or large areas of the body.
Inverse psoriasis - Large, dry, smooth, vividly red plaques occur in
the folds of the skin near the genitals, under the breasts, or in the
armpits. Inverse psoriasis is related to increased sensitivity to friction
and sweating and may be painful or itchy.
Erythrodermic psoriasis - Widespread reddening and scaling of
the skin is often accompanied by itching or pain. Erythrodermic
psoriasis may be precipitated by severe sunburn, use of oral steroids
(such as cortisone), or a drug-related rash.

5. Psoriasis is linked to a genetic case, where a family association exists in one
out of three cases. It often appears at between the ages of 15 and 35, but it
can develop at any age. About 10 percent to 15 percent of those with
psoriasis get it before age 10, and occasionally it appears in infancy.
Psoriasis is not contagious, so one can "catch" it from another person.

6. Scalp: Scalp psoriasis occurs in at least half of all people with psoriasis. It
can range from very mild with fine scaling to very severe with thick,
crusted plaques.
Genitals: Genital psoriasis acts similar to other affected parts of the body.
But because of the sensitivity of the skin, this type may require special
considerations.
Hands and Feet: Pustular psoriasis can impair a person's ability to work.
Plaque psoriasis can dry out the skin and cause cracking and bleeding.
Nails: Nail changes occur in about half of those with psoriasis and 80
percent of those with psoriatic arthritis. The nails may have small holes
(pitting), a changed shape (deformation), separation from the skin
(oncholyosis) and discoloration.

8. Dermatopathology
Marked overall thickening of the epidermis (acanthuses) and thinning of
epidermis over elongated dermal papillae
Increased mitosis of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells
Parakeratotic hyperkeratosis (nuclei retained in the stratum corneum)
Inflammatory cells in the dermis (lymphocytes and monocytes) and in the
epidermis (polymorphonuclear cells), forming microabscesses of Munro in
the stratum corneum

9. Conventional and herbal immunosuppressants are commonly used for the
treatment of psoriasis. Doctors generally treat psoriasis in ‘steps’, based on the
severity of the disease, size of the skin areas involved, type of psoriasis, and the
patient's response to initial treatment. This is sometimes called the "1-2-3"
approach. In step 1, medication is applied to the skin (topical treatment). Step
2 employs light treatment (phototherapy). Step 3 involves the ingestion of
medication by mouth or injection: a process that addresses the whole immune
system (called systemic therapy).

10. The Herose® Psoria Capsule is approved as a Chinese Proprietary Medicine in
Singapore, developed by a group of doctors headed by military
surgeon/dermatologist, Dr. Tang Jinghua, who has over 30 years of experience
in practicing Chinese medicine. Based on his rich clinical experience, Dr. Tang
believes that what is commonly known as a variety of ‘cold syndromes’
(insufficiency of both the Pi and the Shen) causes anomalies in the immune
system function. To address this in the case of psoriasis, he adopts the
therapeutic method of warming the yang and promoting blood circulation to
enhance and balance the immune system. This treatment concept is
diametrically opposed to Western-style therapies that employ drugs to
suppress the immune system. Immunosuppression provides only temporary
symptomatic relief, does not correct the root problem, and can be
accompanied by many undesirable side effects over long term use.
