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).
