Chronic Skin Conditions Can Lead to Depression

Psoriasis affects over 100 million people in the world. It's the most active autoimmune disease.
Psoriasis is caused when skin cells grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin. Skin cells usually grow and flake off every 4 weeks. As outer skin layers shed, new skin cells grow and replace. For people with psoriasis, new skin cells grow and move skin surface every few days rather than weeks. They build up and form thick patches called plaques.
Besides being itchy, tender and bright red, the patches of skin can make you feel self-conscious of your looks and lead to depression. Symptoms often go away without treatment, and then flare up during times of stress or extreme cold. Keeping stress at a minimum is the key to living with psoriasis.

Athlete's foot is contagious and gets passed through direct contact or contact with socks or shoes, showers or pools. But I have a great, natural, probiotic solution that works to remove bacteria and fungus in those wet, infected areas.
