Severe psoriasis may raise risk of earlier death

Categories: Celebs & Entertainment

Psoriasis is a skin disease that affects millions worldwide. While not exactly dangerous, it can be annoying and very embarrassing. So much that many psoriasis sufferers are afraid to go out in public.

Severe psoriasis can be extremely painful as well, and a new study reports that those with a severe form of the skin disease have a 50% increased risk of death compared to people without psoriasis.

If you have scratchy, scaly skin on your body and have not seen a dermatologist or doctor about it, now is a good time. Psoriasis can be controlled very easily with the right products (many natural ones as well), so today could be your day, if you choose to take action.
