The psoriasis causes
The psoriasis is caused by breaking the cycle of division, maturation of the skin cells. This is the disease guy atri withering away of the upper layer of the skin occurs faster than the usual. A number of opinions of health professionals for the reason that the development of psoriasis, this case is still ongoing.
