Psoriasis is not only limited to skin but also involves Nails Hairs and Joints. The psoriasis tends to be chronic in nature and often resistant to most of the treatments or in t he best had a tendency to recurrence. The most common places affected by the psoriasis are

Mild to Severe Itching , Tendency to Spread, Redness & Scaling of skin are the three hallmarks of psoriasis. Since it is due to hyperimmunity it could be only treated successfully either by immunosuppressive drugs or steroids. Further Psoriasis is a risk factor for Asthma ie whenever Psoriasis disappears with steroid and immunosuppressive drugs it sooner or later reappears in respiratory problem.
Why Homeopathy : Because Homeopathic classification of psoriasis symptoms is extensive and no other therapy in the world had such extensive studies on psoriasis and other skin symptoms such as Itching could be mild and could be severe could be with burning sensation or without, could be better with severe scratching or with mild rubbing, could be better with cold or be better with hot, also could be on dorsal or on ventral surface, could be chapped and tettery, could be with Thick, hard, honey-colored scabs or could have withered or dried up skin. All this is just tip of iceberg, it is not possible to mention each and every thing.
At least in my personal knowledge I have 188 different types of medicnes in multiple potencies each one for specific condition and even this number is gradually increasing day by day. Not only this, each homeopathic medicine acts enough to produce lasting improvement.
