Psoriasis
A chronic skin condition with dull red lesions of the skin that come and go for many years. Usually painful or itchy, they tend to be worse in the winter and are often helped by increased exposure to the sun or moderate UV treatment. It is, at least to some degree, an inherited condition, auto-immune, and sometimes accompanied by joint pain.
