Psoriasis is caused by abnormal activity in the body’s immune system. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin, these patches are areas of excessive skin production and inflammation. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and takes a silvery-white appearance. These patches frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals. Psoriasis is not contagious.
Psoriasis is a chronic recurring condition which varies in severity from minor localised patches to complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected. Psoriatic arthritis is when the psoriasis has caused inflammation within the joints, this affects about 15% of psoriasis sufferers.
Treatment
Psoriasis is a challenge to treat due to its recurrent nature and the factors thought to aggravate psoriasis, such as stress, lifestyle or even excessive alcohol consumption. Psoriasis is usually diagnosed purely by the appearance of the skin, there are no specific blood tests. There are two main theories as to what causes psoriasis; one considers psoriasis as primarily a disorder of excessive growth and reproduction of skin cells. The problem is simply seen as a fault of the epidermis and its keratinocytes. The other considers the disease as being an immune-mediated disorder in which the excessive reproduction of skin cells is secondary to factors produced by the immune system. Whatever treatment is considered it is a trial process to find a regime that suits the individual person. Moisturizing the psoriasis affected areas of skin and maintaining the moisture is considered of prime importance.
