Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease affecting millions of people worldwide. This skin disease is characterized by inflammation and scaling due to overactive outer layer of the skin. This layer starts to produce cells faster than normal and collects on the surface leading to scaling.
Cutting across all age groups, the patients suffer major emotional distress, pain in the joints and continuous discomfort. The major symptoms are reddening, thickening of the skin patches, itching, burning and scales formation. The patches at the joints may crack and ooze. There are many body parts which are affected - elbows, knees, back, and scalp, soles of feet, fingernails and toes. Scalp psoriasis is a common problem affecting majority of the people. It ranges from mild to severe, with thick scales covering the whole scalp. It is very painful, itchy and cause severe hair loss.
Treatment for scalp psoriasis is difficult as the hair become an obstacle, for applying creams and medicines. Cutting the hair very short or going bald is the only option for people, making it embarrassing to go out in public. There are many specially medicated shampoos which include salicylic acid, known for exfoliating properties and an active ingredient in anti dandruff shampoos.

billy hi,
when is the best time to travel to the dead sea, in your opinion
I believe hot dry weather is supposed to have some beenfit as well. I met a guy while travelling in Australia a few years ago who’d gone there in the hope that the weather might do some good for his psoriasis and kept in touch so I can vouch for it.
Do they have other activities?
I mean for kids.
I want it to be a family vacation.
Sure,
There are a lot of great hotels there, with tons of activities.
