No.  Cancer is a mutation of your body's cells and you can't cause that just by plucking the hairs, no matter how many you pluck.

It is not necessary fat people should get psoriasis. Your observatio seems to be not correct. \n\nPsoriasis  is an immune-mediated disease which affects the skin and joints. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. The scaly patches caused by psoriasis are often called psoriasis plaques or lesions. Psoriasis plaques are areas of excessive skin cell production and inflammation. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and sometimes takes a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals. Psoriasis is not contagious; it cannot be passed from person to person.\n\nThe exact cause for people getting psoriasis is not known. Various casuses are said for this but not Obesity (Fat People)-

Keep your skin moist and lubricated. \nAvoid cold, dry climates. Cold weather may worsen symptoms, while hot, humid weather and sunlight may improve symptoms. (However, hot humid weather may worsen certain types of psoriasis.) \nAvoid scratching and picking skin and skin injuries (cuts or scrapes). An injury to the skin can cause psoriasis patches to form anywhere on the body, including the site of the injury. This includes injuries to your nails or nearby skin while trimming your nails. \nAvoid stress and anxiety. Stress may cause psoriasis to appear suddenly (flare) or can make symptoms worse, although this has not been proven in studies. \nAvoid infection. Infections such as strep throat can cause psoriasis to appear suddenly (called guttate psoriasis), especially in children. \nTry to avoid certain medications. Some, including beta-blockers and lithium, have been found to worsen psoriasis symptoms. Tell your doctor you have psoriasis before any medications are prescribed for you. \nLimit alcohol. This may help control psoriasis, especially for men.

There are many different kinds of cancer.  The accumulated effects of repeated sunburn/sunexposure can cause skin cancers.  Heavy drinking & alcoholism can cause pancreatic and liver cancers.  Smoking/second-hand smoke can cause lung cancer.  Over-exposure to radiation can cause cancer.  Existing cancers can cause other cancers.  It would take far too long to list all the causes and possible causes.  Some days I feel that everything causes cancer.\n\nAs far as prevention, there's no guarantee that anything you do will prevent it.  But you can reduce the chances.  Eat healthy, reduce or avoid red meat, moderate or no alcohol, don't smoke or linger around second-hand smoke, stay active and exercise.  Stay out of the sun as much as possible and wear sunscreen/block.  Any search on cancer prevention will give a long list of things you should and should not do.  But in the end, if you're genetically programmed to get it....\n\nDon't spend the rest of your life worrying about it.  Use common sense, live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy the life you have.

Psoriasis, like most skin conditions, is never something that will go away.  Like HPV, or warts, it will stay in the body even if there are no physical signs.  I suggest picking up some oil of oregano (18.99) at GNC and put 2 drops of affected areas.  It may get a little warm sensation, but it will help if you have outbreaks.

Findings on physical examination depend on the type of psoriasis.\n\nPlaque psoriasis is characterized by raised inflamed lesions covered with a silvery white scale. The scale may be scraped away to reveal inflamed skin beneath. This is most common on the extensor surfaces of the knees, elbows, scalp, and trunk.\nGuttate psoriasis presents as small red dots of psoriasis that usually appear on the trunk, arms, and legs; the lesions may have some scale. It frequently appears suddenly after an upper respiratory infection (URI).\nInverse psoriasis occurs on the flexural surfaces, armpit, groin, under the breast, and in the skin folds and is characterized by smooth, inflamed lesions without scaling.\nPustular psoriasis presents as sterile pustules appearing on the hands and feet or, at times, diffusely, and may cycle through erythema, pustules, and scaling.\nErythrodermic psoriasis presents as generalized erythema, pain, itching, and fine scaling.\nScalp psoriasis affects approximately 50% of patients, presenting as erythematous raised plaques with silvery white scales on the scalp.\nNail psoriasis may cause pits on the nails, which may develop yellowish color and become thickened. Nails may separate from the nail bed.\nPsoriatic arthritis affects approximately 10% of those with skin symptoms. The arthritis is usually in the hands, feet, and, at times, in larger joints. It produces stiffness, pain, and progressive joint damage.\nOral psoriasis may present with whitish lesions on the oral mucosa, which may appear to change in severity from day to day. It may also present as severe cheilosis with extension onto the surrounding skin, crossing the vermillion border.

There are many different types of psoriasis treatment, but many treatments work in a similar way: by reducing the activity of the immune system. This decreases symptoms by fighting inflammation and skin cell overgrowth.\n\nThe choice of treatment for psoriasis depends on the type and severity of the psoriasis, where the psoriasis is found on the body, the person's general health, and other medications the person may be taking. The main psoriasis treatments are:\n\nTopical medications: These medications are applied to the skin areas affected by psoriasis. These treatments are used for mild to moderate cases of psoriasis, or in combination with other treatment options. \nSystemic medications: This group includes medications taken by mouth (oral medications) and by injection (injectable medications). Injectable medications may be biologics or non-biologics (such as methotrexate injections). \nPhototherapy: This treatment uses ultraviolet light to reduce psoriasis symptoms. It is used for moderate to severe cases of psoriasis. \nBiologics: These are injectable medications that are used for moderate to severe cases of psoriasis.

I believe in doctor prescibed medications but sometimes simple is better.  Psoriasis is caused from skin cells growing too fast and they become rough and sightly.  You will think that I am crazy but get some lard not oil or crisco but real lard.  Cover the areas well at night with the lard and cover it then with a cloth to protect your clothes and linens.  Give it about a week and I believe that you will notice a difference.  The lard does not cure it but it softens the rough skin and gives it a smoother appearance.  It will look better and you will feel better about it.  Think of it as a beauty treatment like applying lotion or skin treatment for beauty.

Psoriasis is considered a autoimmune disease. As with any disease of this sort you need to get your immune system working again. To do this the proper nutrition is needed along with a environment that does not detract from the immune system. Look up "household toxins" and you will find tons of sites that will show you what I mean. I also use a excellent lotion that is very effective in helping such conditions. The last thing you need to do is detoxify your body and there are very effective antioxidants to do this. \nGood Luck!

Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion or by implantation into distant sites by metastasis. Metastasis is defined as the stage in which cancer cells are transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. Cancer may affect people at all ages, but risk increases with age. It is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries.\n\nThere are many types of cancer. Severity of symptoms depends on the site and character of the malignancy and whether there is metastasis. A definitive diagnosis usually requires the histologic examination of tissue by a pathologist. This tissue is obtained by biopsy or surgery. Most cancers can be treated and some cured, depending on the specific type, location, and stage. Once diagnosed, cancer is usually treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As research develops, treatments are becoming more specific for the type of cancer pathology. Drugs that target specific cancers already exist for several cancers. If untreated, cancers may eventually cause illness and death, though this is not always the case.\n\nThe unregulated growth that characterizes cancer is caused by damage to DNA, resulting in mutations to genes that encode for proteins controlling cell division. Many mutation events may be required to transform a normal cell into a malignant cell. These mutations can be caused by chemicals or physical agents called carcinogens, by close exposure to radioactive materials, or by certain viruses that can insert their DNA into the human genome. Mutations occur spontaneously, or are passed down generations as a result of germ line mutations.\n\nMany forms of cancer are associated with exposure to environmental factors such as tobacco smoke, radiation, alcohol and certain viruses. While some of these can be avoided, there is no known way to entirely avoid the disease, and public health and vaccination programs are also important on a global scale.\n\n\nI hope you find what your looking for.\n\nGood Luck!\n\n=)
