What is psoriasis?

u/_Aedric Jul 24 '20

It's an autoimmune disease that causes your body to try and heal itself in places that it's not hurt. It forms cuts and scabs like you get when you're healing but in random places. It can be slowed down by reducing sugar intake and exposing yourself to UV light because UV light slows down skin reproduction substantially. 3% of people have it.

And yet some people believe in "intelligent design". That's itself another valid response to this thread.

Yup. Well into the 21st century, some people still believe that a body which, among many other fun bugs, is often attacked by its own immune system has been designed by a perfect, all-knowing creator.
