Psoriasis

psoriasis

Psoriasis is a rather common chronic skin condition that causes skin cells to develop at a more rapid pace than older skin cells have time to shed. This can create thick patches of skin also known as plaques, that appear scaly and red. Most psoriasis patients experience severe itchiness, and dry, irritated skin. The appearance of plaque outbreaks can occur periodically. Psoriasis can develop at any age, and although there is no cure for it, there are ways to manage Psoriasis.

Symptoms

There are ways to identify if you have Psoriasis including symptoms like:

  • Red patches of skin that appear scaly
  • Itching, Burning, Irritated skin
  • Dry or cracked skin
  • Sore joints

Causes of Psoriasis

The main cause of Psoriasis has not been identified. However, it is believed to be related to the immune system involving the T cells, as well as the white blood cells. The T cell’s normal function involves protecting the skin from foreign invaders, such as bacteria. Patients with psoriasis however, the T cells may accidentally attack healthy skin cells with the similar function healing a wound. This can cause the overproduction of skin cells, and it becomes an ongoing cycle.

Treatments

Although there is no cure for psoriasis, there are some ways to manage outbreaks, including:

  • Seeking the help of a specialist for prescribed topical treatments
  • Steroid-based creams
  • Coal-tar ointments and shampoos
  • Prescription retinoids
