1Department of Moalajat (Medicine), National Institute of Unani Medicine, Bangalore, India.
Abstract:
Taqashure jild (TJ) is an Arabic word for scaling or sloughing of the skin. There are numerous skin diseases included in the Unani system of medicine; several of these diseases may resemble psoriasis, with TJ being the most likely candidate. The classic literature of the Unani system of medicine, including The Canon of Medicine (Al-Qanun Fittib), Continens Liber (Kitabul Hawi), Hippocratic Treatments (Moalajat Buqratiya), and The Complete Book of the Medical Art (Kamil-u-Sana), have described TJ as a disease characterized by scaling, roughness, and increased thickness due to abnormal melancholic humor (Sawda Ghayr Tabiiyya).

The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
