Dry Skin

This is another common symptom of psoriasis. When this disease sets in, it causes some skin parts to become very dry, and these skin parts may flake, crack, and bleed. The intensity of this symptom depends on the type of psoriasis a person has. People with scalp psoriasis tend to experience more flaking. The flakes that fall from psoriasis affected skin is not the same as the ones that drop from dandruff. In psoriasis affected skin, the flakes tend to have a silvery color. This symptom can affect the performance of daily activities; however, lotions and creams can help in relieving this symptom.
