Chronic plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis and is an inherited illness that actually affects the autoimmune function of the body.  As the immune system misinterprets tissue and cells as foreign bodies, the symptoms for this illness can be expressed as flare-ups of skin patches and rashes which are actually an attempt for the body to try and remove the perceived toxins.  The evident plaques are actually malformations of the squamous cells that result as the proteins that are released by the immune system reach a loading […]
