Psoriasis
Psoriasis (psora is greek for “to itch”) has been diagnosed in both Asia and Europe for over 2000 years. In China it is known under the names Pi Xuan (Ox Skin Dermatitis), Song Bi Xuan (Pine Skin Dermatitis), and Bai Bi (White Dagger Sore/ Whiite Crust), all of the names pointing out the characteristic scaly look of this common skin disorder. The scale itself comes from the over production of skin cells that are regenerating every 3-5 days, instead of the normal 30 days.
