Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with cutaneous and extra cutaneous manifestations characterized by circumscribed, erythematous, dry, scaling plaques of various sizes, usually covered by silvery white lamellar scales. It is associated with arthropathy as well as disorders such as diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. Therapeutic guidelines offer a wide range of topical and systemic treatments, yet a number of patients are often dissatisfied with the treatment of their disease and, in consequence, seek other alternatives. Clinical experience and studies identify a positive role of Homoeopathy in skin conditions including palmar psoriasis.
