Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease, where rapid skin cells buildup and cause flaking, inflammation, and thick, white, silver, or red patches on the skin.
The rapid skin production process causes Psoriasis.
Normally, the skin cells grow deep in the skin and slowly rise to the surface and eventually fall off. The typical life cycle of a skin cell is one month.
In psoriasis, this skin cell production process occurs in a few days. The skin cells don’t have time to fall off and thus this rapid overproduction leads to the buildup of skin. Typically psoriasis affects knees, scalp, elbows, palms, soles, and torso the most.
The most common symptoms of plaque psoriasis include:
- Red, raised, inflamed patches of skin
- Whitish-silver scales or plaques on the red patches
- Dry skin that may crack and bleed
- Soreness around patches
- Itching and burning sensations around patches
- Thick, pitted nails
- Painful, swollen joints
Types of Psoriasis
- Plaque or Psoriasis Vulgaris.
- Guttate Psoriasis
- Inverse Psoriasis
- Pustular Psoriasis
- Erythrodermic Psoriasis
Treatments
Psoriasis has no cure. Treatments aim to reduce inflammation and scales, slow the growth of skin cells, and remove plaques. Diet recommendations, change in lifestyle, and medications like – Biologics, Retinoids, Cyclosporine, and Methotrexate are the basic psoriasis treatment.
