If you ever feel the need to be bombarded by advertising for psoriasis medications, turn on the television after midnight.

Due to a successful ad campaign in the 1970's, the heartbreak of psoriasis became a popular phrase.

You don't see this often, but today’s psoriasis came to us from Late Latin psoriasis “mange, scurvy,” from Greek psōriasis “the itch, being itchy.”
