And don't just treat yourself, treat everyone who sleeps in the house.

The Morning Rumble

And there's a full program you need to go for.

These little suckers, they're tiny little microscopic insects.

Psoriasis is a fascinating thing.

MEDICAL MONDAYS - Doctor John ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿฅ

We don't have a really good idea what's going on with it.

What is it exactly?

The Morning Rumble
MEDICAL MONDAYS - Doctor John ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿฅ

It's a viral skin disease like a wart.

The Morning Rumble
MEDICAL MONDAYS - Doctor John ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿฅ

It's not a wart virus, but it behaves in exactly the same way.

The Morning Rumble

Eventually your immune system finds it and wipes it out.

The Morning Rumble
MEDICAL MONDAYS - Doctor John ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿฅ

So we try and tell people to chill on it.

The Morning Rumble
