Hi, P is simply when your skin " regenerates " faster than it should. The

skin cells on everyone regenerate at a certain " speed " . The person with P,

has skin cells that regenerate at 10X the " normal " rate, therfore causing

scales and such. it is thought to be a genetic, autoimmune disorder. It is

not caused by a parasite. Onelist has a good site.
