Psoriasis

 
Order Description
Jason 19 years old, is an engineering student in the first year of his university course and has moved
out of home into a shared house.
He has a family history of psoriasis and he unhappily followed his mothers example and developed
psoriasis in his late teens. The skin inflammation is evident in his scalp elbows and knees usually
doesn’t cause too much inconvenience, but it can flare up and spread at an alarming rate without any
warning. This has been happening every couple of months, but seems to occurring more often in recent
times. the lesions are pink, inflamed with fine flaky scales and he can’t help itching them. The itching
can make the lesions bleed and heal very slowly.
Lately he has noticed something different : aching and pain in the spine, neck and shoulders which
worries him because his mother had psoriatic arthritis.
Jason passes a bowel motion every second day and his housemate complain of a putrid malingering smell in
the bathroom after these visits. The lounge room regularly has to be evacuated due to the awful smell of
his ever present flatulence. In a boyish way he is pleased with this, but knows it cannot be healthy
thing.
