Medical experts are calling for a broader public understanding of psoriasis, a chronic skin disorder, warning sufferers not to blindly seek treatment that may lead to health risks.
The warning comes after a recent incident of medication misuse in Shanghai.
A 26-year-old woman who is a psoriasis patient was diagnosed with serious silver poisoning after taking a remedy called colloidal silver she bought from an overseas website.
