How does Psoriasis Manifest? (What is Psoriasis?)

Psoriasis is a patch of increased cell production. In normal individuals skin cells are made and replaced every 3 to 4 weeks. However, in people with psoriasis, this process happens every 3 to 7 days. This results in the accumulation of skin cells leading to scaly patches.

Causes of Psoriasis

  • Compromised immune system: It is believed in psoriasis the body attacks its own healthy cells
  • Certain triggers: These triggers can either be some skin injury or throat infections or allergy to certain medicines
  • Infections: Either Streptococcal or HIV infections
  • Certain medicines: Drugs for treating heart disease, malaria as well as mental health problems
  • Smoking: Smoking triggers inflammation due to excess free radicals in the body
  • Obesity: Obesity worsens the body inflammation as well as push the body to an autoimmune response
  • Hereditary: Psoriasis runs in the family, but can sometimes skip an entire generation and manifest in the next generation
  • Stress: High-stress levels can also trigger psoriasis as well as increase the inflammation

Symptoms of Psoriasis

  • Red silver patches: Scaly patches are typically found on the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles of feet. However, It can also affect fingernails, toenails, and the mouth.
  • Dryness: The area around the scaly patches becomes dry. Hence, it leads to itching and cracking of the skin.
  • Redness: The inflammation causes the skin to become red and sore.

 

Complications of long-standing psoriasis

  • Psoriatic arthritis: This inflammation caused by psoriasis over a period of time causes psoriatic arthritis
  • Cardiovascular problem: Chronic psoriasis can lead to heart attacks and stroke
  • Mental issues: Psoriasis indirectly affects the mental health of the patient leading to low self-esteem, anxiety as well as depression
  • Secondary diseases: People with psoriasis are more likely to get certain cancers. It can also lead to Crohn’s disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, osteoporosis, liver as well as kidney disease

Treatment of Psoriasis

  • Topical application: The first line of treatment is a topical application on the affected area. These lotions and ointments are vitamin D or corticosteroids based.
  • Phototherapy: With severe scaly patches phototherapy is used. It involves exposing the skin to specific ultraviolet light.
  • Sunbath: A few minutes in sun in the morning between 7 am to 12 noon helps to increase our vitamin D levels. Vitamin D helps to repair the skin and also helps protect from skin inflammation.
  • Advance treatment: When the first line of treatment doesn’t work there is a need for oral or injected medication. It works on the entire body.
  • Meditation: Stress is a major trigger for psoriasis (Research). Meditation helps to de-stress and treat psoriasis.
  • Exercise: Exercise releases endorphins that reduce stress and elevate mood
  • Diet: Most patients are overweight or have metabolic syndrome. The diet focuses on weight loss and correcting the metabolic disorders.
