About Psoriasis
WHAT IS PSORIASIS?

every 3 to 4 days, while people without the condition have a turnover
rate of about every 30 days.1,2,3,4

As a result, sebum (oil) gets trapped and bacteria (P.
Treatment for acne has several goals: to heal pimples, to prevent pimples (by decreasing sebum production, killing bacteria, and normalizing skin shedding), and to prevent scarring.1,6
