While there is no known cure for psoriasis, there are several over-the-counter treatments available that can help manage the symptoms.

Skin Cancer: A Brief Overview

Back in the ’80s and ’90s, tans were highly fashionable. This trend is no longer as popular, however, as people have become more aware of the dangers of routine sun exposure.
