Psoriasis affects over 125 million people worldwide who have to live with pain from their skin cracking and bleeding. Many suffer from the embarrassment of shedding scales of skin.  Around 450,000 people suffer from some sort of psoriasis in Australia. Sadly some people treat psoriasis as a contagious skin condition, but it is not!!! Psoriasis is a common and chronic skin condition, driven by an overactive immune system and production of skin cells.
