Psoriasis
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells. This overproduction results in red, itchy, and scaly patches, most commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Though not contagious, psoriasis can significantly impact a person’s quality of life due to its physical and emotional effects. It is rooted in immune system dysfunction and triggered by factors like genetics, stress, and environmental conditions.
Symptoms of
Psoriasis
Recognizing these symptoms of psoriasis is essential to finding the right psoriasis treatment. The symptoms of psoriasis vary depending on the type but commonly include:
- Joint pain or stiffness in individuals with psoriatic arthritis.
- Red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales.
- Itching, burning, or soreness in affected areas.
- Thickened or ridged nails in some cases.
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed.
Types of
Psoriasis
Psoriasis presents in several forms, each with distinct characteristics. Understanding the types of psoriasis can guide individuals toward an appropriate and effective treatment of psoriasis:
- Plaque Psoriasis
The most common type, featuring raised, inflamed patches.
- Guttate Psoriasis
Small, drop-shaped lesions often triggered by infections.
- Inverse Psoriasis
Smooth, shiny lesions in skin folds like the armpits or groin.
- Pustular Psoriasis
White pustules surrounded by inflamed skin, often on the hands and feet.
- Erythrodermic Psoriasis
A rare, severe form causing widespread redness, scaling, and peeling.
What Causes
Psoriasis?
The exact causes of psoriasis are not fully understood, but it is widely accepted that a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors contribute to the condition. By addressing what causes psoriasis, treatments can focus on both managing symptoms and preventing flare-ups. Key causes include:
- Genetics
A family history of psoriasis increases the risk.
- Immune System Dysregulation
Overactive T-cells mistakenly attack healthy skin cells, leading to inflammation.
- Triggers
Stress, infections, cold weather, skin injuries, and certain medications can initiate or exacerbate symptoms.
