Psoriasis Treatment

Psoriasis refers to a chronic autoimmune disease that results in a rapid buildup of skin cells. The excessive buildup of the skin cells leads to scaling, crack, and bleeding. Inflammation and redness are the two most common symptoms of Psoriasis. Typically, the skin cells grow deep in the skin and slowly rise to the surface. The excess cell buildup wears off within a month, but the patient should consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis.
Often, Psoriasis is an initial symptom of the following conditions:
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Heart disease
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Anxiety
  • Depression

What Are The Symptoms of Psoriasis?

Check for the following symptoms if you feel your skin has been affected with Psoriasis:
  • Red, raised inflamed patches of skin
  • Whitish silver scales or plaques on the red patches
  • Dry skin that may crack or bleed
  • Soreness around the patches
  • Itchy or burning sensation around the patches
  • Thick, pitted nails
  • Painful, swollen joints
Most people with Psoriasis may undergo “cycles” of symptoms where the symptoms may get severe for a few days or weeks, and then clear up and be almost unnoticeable. In a few weeks (if made worse by a common psoriasis trigger), the condition may erupt again. Sometimes, symptoms of Psoriasis disappear completely.

What Are The Causes of Psoriasis?

The two key factors that play a massive role in causing Psoriasis are:

Genetic history:

Some people inherit genes that increase their risk of developing Psoriasis. If you have an immediate family member with any skin condition, your risk for developing Psoriasis is relatively higher. However, the percentage of people who have Psoriasis as well as a genetic predisposition is very low.

Immune System:

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition. Autoimmune conditions result from the body attacking itself. In the case of Psoriasis, white blood cells known as T cells mistakenly attack the skin cells. This sped-up skin cell production causes new skin cells to develop quickly. They are then pushed to the skin’s surface and pile up, developing Psoriasis.
