What is psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin disease characterized by red, itchy areas of skin covered with silvery scales. These silvery scales form due to increased cell division, which is most often caused by disorders in the immune system.
These irritated areas of your skin can be painful, interfere with sleep, and even make it difficult to concentrate.
The disease tends to go through certain cycles - flare up for a few weeks or months, and then subside until the next relapse.
Understanding the nature of particular skin irritation and differentiating it from other similar skin diseases sets the stage for a significant improvement in quality of life.
Locations and types
The different types of psoriasis are Plaque psoriasis, Guttate psoriasis, Inverse psoriasis, Pustular psoriasis, Erythrodermic psoriasis, Nail psoriasis, Scalp psoriasis, and Psoriatic arthritis.
Psoriasis can manifest in various places on the body - from the scalp to the elbows and even the nails.
Speaking about the location there is even a World Psoriasis Day with a conference on the subject organized by the IFPA.
"Skin irritations can be confusing, itchy, or even painful and depressing."
Тriggers and risk factors
The causes of psoriasis are usually complex and not fully known, but there is evidence of a genetic predisposition.
While heredity is uncontrollable, there are factors causing skin irritations and exacerbating the disease that we could completely reduce. Here are a few of them:
- Tobacco
- Alcohol
- Obesity
- Infections
- Medications (e.g., drugs that treat heart disease or mental disorders)
- Stress
- Weather. Cutaneous psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis usually worsen in winter and improve in summer. This is mainly due to dry air and low sunlight.
- Skin lesions. Scratches, wounds, piercings, and even sunburn can cause lesions to appear on the skin - the Koebner phenomenon.
Sounds scary, but remember that none of these factors alone could re-induce psoriasis. The cause is always complex.
