Scalp Psoriasis

A british and american research team has found that sufferers of severe psoriasis have a life expectancy of 3.5 years less than those without severe psoriasis. The study notes that to put this in perspective, the risk of death is higher than those studied with severe hypertension. Mild cases of psoriasis were not found to have an increased risk of death. What does this all mean?  We need a cure for psoriasis!  For more information on the severe psoriasis and death study, go to WebMD.
