Psoriasis
| Psoriasis is a skin condition in which is characterised
by chronic, circumscribed red patches covered by thick, dry, silvery scales
which may come and go. The patches may be anywhere on the body but are most
common on the elbows, knees, bony areas of the arms and legs, scalp, ears, and
genitalia. The condition is often associated with arthritis, particularly of the
end joints of the fingers, and with iritis.
Treatment of psoriasis includes steroid cream, ultraviolet light, tar baths, creams and shampoos, oral methotrexate, and photochemotherapy.

The National Psoriasis Foundation (USA) website has information on psoriasis, but at the time of writing, no references to iritis.
The Psoriasis Association (UK) does not appear to have a web site yet. They have a national network of local groups.
