It’s essential to consult a qualified medical professional for psoriasis management and avoid any quacks or unqualified practitioners who promise a treatment.

Causes of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is one of the skin disorders that take place, especially when skin cells get replaced more quickly. Though the actual cause of this disease is not known, some experts believe that it occurs due to a weak immune system.

Your body generates new skin cells that gradually move up with the skin layers and also they reach the outermost level. The entire process generally takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks.

  • A weak immune system of your body also causes this disease. It helps fight infection. T-cell is one of the types of cells that the immune system uses the most. This cell generally travels through the body for detecting and also fighting those invading germs including bacteria.

  • Many people who already developed psoriasis symptoms tend to worsen due to certain events, known as a trigger. Once you are aware of triggers, it also helps you ignore those flare-ups. Some of the psoriasis triggers include smoking, stress, consuming excessive alcohol, hormonal changes, and many more.

  • Genetics is another main cause of diseases like psoriasis. If any of your family members suffer from this disease, you are prone to get infected with this disease. According to many researchers, different genes are responsible for developing skin disorders like psoriasis.

FAQ related to Psoriasis

Psoriasis is caused by an inflammatory response in which the immune system accidentally targets the body’s own cells. This causes an increase in the production of skin cells causing formation of thick scales on the surface, the typical appearance of psoriasis.

The exact cause is not known but research suggests that it is caused by a malfunctioning immune system. The cells of the immune system mistakenly attack healthy skin cells and trigger an overactive immune response. This leads to increased production of skin cells which build up in thick scaly patches on the skin surface. Genetics also plays a role in causing Psoriasis. Studies have shown that having one parent with psoriasis increases the risk of getting the disease and having two parents with psoriasis doubles the risk. Apart from these, other factors like stress, consumption of red meat and alcohol, viral or bacterial infections, winters or extremes of climate, injuries and certain medications may trigger psoriasis.

The symptoms vary as per the type of Psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis presents with dry, thick, raised patches covered with silvery white scales. Guttate psoriasis may present with multiple tiny red scaly bumps which appear extensively on larger areas of the body. Inverse psoriasis occurs on skin folds. Pustular psoriasis presents with severe infected pustules with inflammation and swelling. Erythrodermic psoriasis, the most severe form of psoriasis appears with a more severe inflammation, intolerable itching, and may be associated with fever, chills, and muscle weakness.

Psoriasis patients often have doubts whether it was okay for them to get married. Some get psyched up by the tiniest rash on their child’s skin and bring them along to the clinic to rule out psoriasis. Such is the fear psychosis about the disease. Psoriasis by nature is a non-contagious condition which means it cannot spread through touch or contact. It is safe for psoriatic patients to socialize, get married, have children.

The itching is severe enough to cause sleep disturbances, inability to concentrate and mental depression. In addition, the trauma caused due to constant scratching causes newer lesions. Psoriatic itch responds well to omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B supplements. Skin softening agents like wheat germ, jojoba, essential oils of tagetes & tea tree are also highly effective against the itch.

People with Psoriasis should drink little or no alcohol. Several studies have shown that heavy drinkers experience more severe psoriasis symptoms. Excessive use of alcohol also causes deficiency of vitamins A and E which are crucial for healthy skin. Alcohol is a diuretic, apart from dehydrating the skin it can cause liver damage. It is known to cause flare-ups and limits the effectiveness of the ongoing treatment. These are many reasons for patients to say NO to this dangerous cocktail.

Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Oily fish like salmons and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and so is tuna fish. For vegetarian people flax seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These seeds can be stored in airtight containers and sprinkled over various foods for their beneficial effects. Consumption of folate rich foods like broccoli and cabbage also is helpful. With Psoriasis, you may need to moderate the consumption of red meat, dairy products, and alcohol.

Yes, exercise is good for Psoriasis. It has always been known that overweight people and smokers were at higher risk of psoriasis flare-ups.

The study also revealed that the lower risk was due to the fact that exercise lowered inflammation in the body in general, and body-wide inflammation is a common feature of psoriasis. Further exercise also decreases anxiety and stress which otherwise are big psoriasis triggers.

As of now there is no cure for psoriasis. But the symptoms of psoriasis can be managed very well with proper treatment. There is a lot of panic associated with the word Psoriasis.
