Skin 'n' Bones Connection Issue 59
So why is inflammation such an important topic? For psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, inflammation is the key driver of symptoms.
Inflammation is a normal and important process that allows your body to heal, usually as a response to an illness, injury or something that doesn’t belong in your body (like germs or toxic chemicals).
