Psoriasis Symptoms Causes and Treatment

 

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder that causes scaling and inflammation.

Psoriasis
may develop as a result of an abnormality in the body's immune system. The immune system normally fights infection and allergic reactions.

Symptoms of Psoriasis

The symptoms of psoriasis may include:

    * Pink or red, raised patches of scaly skin
    * Dry, cracked or flaky skin (it may also bleed at times)
    * Skin that burns, is itchy or sore
    * Thick, pitted fingernails
    * Pus-filled blisters on the red patches of skin (in more severe cases)

Causes of Psoriasis

    *  Infections (such as strep throat and the common cold)
    * Diseases that weaken the immune system
    * Stress
    * Certain medicines (such as beta-blockers for high blood pressure and drugs used to prevent malaria)
    * Skin irritations
    * Cold weather
    * Smoking
Psoriasis is not contagious. You cannot get psoriasis from touching someone who has psoriasis, swimming in the same pool, or even intimate contact. Psoriasis is much more complex.

Treatment of Psoriasis

Three Main Option To Choice Treatment of Psoriasis


      Topical (applied to the skin) – Mild to moderate psoriasis
      Phototherapy (light, usually ultraviolet, applied to the skin) – Moderate to severe psoriasis
