Treating Psoriasis

The treatment of psoriasis requires a highly motivated patient. The course of psoriasis ebbs and flows worsens and then improves, requiring constant attention to the changing cycle of treatment and management. Most types of psoriasis go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a time or even going into complete remission.
The primary goal in treating psoriasis is to control the itching and reduce inflammation. Treatment of psoriasis must involve some lifestyle changes. Treatment of psoriasis is generally based on the sufferer’s age, the severity of their psoriasis condition, and the type of psoriasis they have. Keeping the skin well hydrated is important in the treatment of psoriasis. If itching is severe antihistamines may be considered.
Psoriasis tends to flare-up when the person is exposed to certain trigger factors. Conditions that may cause flare-ups include changes in climate, infections, stress, and dry skin. Also, certain medicines, most notably beta-blockers, which are used in the treatment of high blood pressure, and lithium or drugs used in the treatment of depression, may cause an outbreak or worsening of the disease. Mild cases of psoriasis may be a nuisance. But more severe cases can be painful, disfiguring and disabling. Lack of sunlight and low indoor humidity in the winter months can cause the psoriasis symptoms to worsen.
Moisturizers such as jojoba oil, bath oils, and soap substitutes can be applied to the affected areas as frequently as required to relieve itching, scaling and dryness. Moisture therapy helps to restore one of the skin's most important functions, which is to form a barrier to prevent bacteria and viruses getting into the body and therefore help to prevent a rash becoming infected. Moisturizers are safe and rarely cause an allergic reaction. Occasionally, products with lanolin may cause a reaction. Ideally, moisturizers should be applied three to four times a day. Apply in a gentle downward motion in the direction of hair growth to prevent accumulation of cream around the hair follicle (this can cause infection of the follicle).

Defining Psoriasis

A general picture of psoriasis can encompass different stages. Some people may experience limited psoriasis while others may experience more widespread psoriasis.
Psoriasis can trace its cause to a hyper proliferation of the epidermis, concomitant inflammation, and vascular changes, which occur based on combined genetic and environmental factors. Psoriasis does not discriminate - it occurs equally in men and women and is rarely life threatening.

Psoriasis is defined by silvery-white scaly patches of various size seen most commonly on the knees, elbows, and scalp. Psoriasis occurs when skin cells mature at an accelerated rate. On a normal basis, skin cells grow, mature, and shed about once a month. Skin cells of a person with psoriasis grow nearly seven times faster and build up at the skin's surface resulting in red, raised, scaly patches and lesions.

While there is currently no cure for psoriasis, in isolating the cause, you can effect a treatment control of your psoriasis. Lifestyle changes are part of the the whole treatment picture. Controlling the cause can be its own cure!

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition in which new skin cells grow too fast. This causes thick, dry, scaly patches of skin to form in areas where the old skin hasn't shed quickly enough.
If you've been diagnosed with psoriasis, there are several things you can do to help manage flare-ups.

Psoriasis Skin Care Tips Include:

Keep your skin moist.
Apply creams and ointments slowly and gradually in the direction of your hair's growth.
Avoid using very hot water when bathing or showering.
Use mild soaps and deodorants.
Use brushes with soft bristles. Wash your hair gently and let it dry naturally whenever possible.
Avoid picking or scratching skin and skin injuries. An injury to the skin can cause psoriasis patches to form at the site.

Home Remedy for Psoriasis

Turmeric is a popular home remedy for psoriasis. Turmeric paste is easy to make and many people claim it has significantly improved their psoriasis symptoms.

To make the paste:
Pour 1/4 tsp. or more of turmeric powder in a non-porous bowl (glass, ceramic or metal). That amount is enough to treat a small, quarter-size area. Use more turmeric if treating larger areas of the skin. Mix enough water into the turmeric powder to make a thick, smooth paste--about the consistency of mud. Pour one drop of water into the turmeric powder at a time, while stirring the mixture with a spoon to remove any lumps. If you accidentally use too much water, add more turmeric powder to obtain the desired consistency. Spread a thin layer of turmeric paste onto the psoriasis-affected areas of skin, before bedtime. Use enough paste so that you cannot see the underlying skin, but not so much that the paste is falling off. Wrap a piece of gauze around the skin treated with turmeric paste to keep the paste in place. Leave the turmeric paste on your skin, covered with the gauze, overnight. Remove the gauze and wash the turmeric paste off of your skin using warm water.

Curcumin "is the active ingredient in turmeric responsible for inhibiting skin growth factors that lead to psoriasis scales, according to Volume 595 of the journal Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology."

Be aware the paste will turn your skin orange for a while but will eventually fade, hopefully along with your psoriasis! Does it work? Old home rememdies sometimes have a solid basis and sometimes will cause more harm. Always use caution when exploring home remedies for any condition.

The Picture of Psoriasis

In the clinical picture, psoriasis can trace its cause to a hyper proliferation of the epidermis, concomitant inflammation, and vascular changes, which occur based on combined genetic and environmental factors.

A general picture of psoriasis can encompass different stages. Some people may experience limited psoriasis while others may experience more widespread psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition affecting over 6 million people in the United States alone. Psoriasis occurs equally in men and women and is rarely life threatening. Psoriasis generally begins between the ages of 15 and 35, but it is possible for it to occur very early or very late in life.

Psoriasis is characterized by silvery-white scaly patches of various size seen most commonly on the knees, elbows, and scalp. Psoriasis occurs when skin cells mature at an accelerated rate. On a normal basis, skin cells grow, mature, and shed about once a month. Skin cells of a person with psoriasis grow nearly seven times faster and build up at the skin's surface resulting in red, raised, scaly patches and lesions.
Although some sufferers complain of itching, it is not very common in the psoriasis picture. Only 30% of people with psoriasis complain of itching. Development of psoriasis is caused by genetic factors.

While there is currently no cure for psoriasis, in isolating the cause, you can achieve an effective treatment control of your psoriasis. Lifestyle changes are part of the the whole treatment picture. Controlling the cause can be its own cure! Psoriasis-Ltd can help.

What is Guttate Psoriasis?

Guttate psoriasis is a type of psoriasis characterized by small red dots (or drops) of psoriasis. Guttate comes from the Latin word gutta meaning "drop."

This type of psoriasis often appears on the trunk, arms and legs. The lesions may have some scale.

Guttate psoriasis frequently appears suddenly following a streptococcal infection or viral upper respiratory infections. There are also other events that can precipitate an attack of guttate psoriasis: tonsillitis, a cold, chicken pox, immunizations, physical trauma, psychological stress, illness, and the administration of anti-malarial drugs.

Guttate psoriasis is many small patches of psoriasis, all over the body, and often happens after a throat infection. Guttate Psoriasis most often affects children and young adults. It appears as small, red bumps-the size of drops of water-on the skin. It usually appears suddenly, often several weeks after an infection such as strep throat.

SYMPTOMS OF PSORIASIS

Individuals with psoriasis experience symptoms such as itching, cracking, stinging, burning, or bleeding. Lack of sunlight and low indoor humidity in the winter months can cause the psoriasis symptoms to worsen. The affected skin may crack at the joints where the body bends, or in areas where the individual scratches. Scratching should be strictly avoided, because it can cause bleeding and infection. Psoriasis has also been known to cause pits or dents to form in fingernails and toenails. There is also the possibility that the soft tissue inside the mouth and genitalia can be affected.

New skin cells take about a month or so to move from the deepest skin layer where they're produced, to the surface where they die and flake off. With psoriasis, the entire skin cell life cycle takes only days leading to an accumulation on the skin surface causing irritation, itching and redness.

People with psoriasis may notice that there are times when their skin worsens, then improves. Conditions that may cause flareups include changes in climate, infections, stress, and dry skin. Also, certain medicines, most notably beta-blockers, which are used in the treatment of high blood pressure, and lithium or drugs used in the treatment of depression, may cause an outbreak or worsening of the disease.

Causes of Psoriasis

There are many ideas about the cause of psoriasis. Heredity plays a role in the development of psoriasis. It has been noted that individuals who have a family member with a severe case of psoriasis tend to experience early onset of the disease. Many psoriasis researchers have found that a biochemical stimulus may trigger the abnormally high skin growth, which in turn causes the skin lesions of psoriasis. Other research studies indicate that psoriasis may be a disorder of the immune system. The T cell, a white blood cell, normally works to fight off infection and disease. Scientists believe that having an abnormal immune system causes abnormal activity by T cells in the skin. These abnormally active T cells cause skin inflammation and increased cell production. Diet and vitamin influences have also been thought to play a role in psoriasis development and progression.

The Many Types Of Psoriasis

Psoriasis can occur in several different forms. All types of psoriasis are caused when the infection-fighting white blood cells, called T-cells, malfunction. Under normal circumstances, T-cells fight against foreign invaders. However, in individuals with psoriasis, the T-cells actually attack the skin. The rash of psoriasis results from a combination of damage to the skin by T-cells, inflammation in the skin, and overproduction of new skin cells. To effectively treat your psoriasis, you must first identify the type of psoriasis you have.
