A recent study has disclosed that patients afflicted with psoriasis could find it difficult for managing daily chores along with the disease symptoms after a link between the disease and two potentially serious medical conditions, atherosclerosis and diabetes, was identified.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by scaly, thick, and red plaque and leads to bleeding and itching and could bring considerable discomfort and emotional stress for patients.
Dermatologist Michael David, MD, Dermatology Department at Rabin Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel, and his colleagues were able to find a high occurrence of atherosclerosis and diabetes in patients with psoriasis when compared to patients without psoriasis.
