Definition of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a non-contagious disorder which affects the skin. As a result, symptoms including itchy, scaly red patches appear, often on the elbows, hands, feet, and scalp, but they can show up on other parts of your body. Usually, what happens is 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.

Individuals with psoriasis experience skin conditions such as itching, cracking, stinging, burning, or bleeding. These symptoms are usually worse in the winter months due to the lack of sunlight and low indoor humidity. The skin is most likely to crack at the joints where the body bends or in areas where the individual fails to refrain from scratching. Scratching can also lead to bleeding and infection, which is why it should be avoided at all costs. This skin condition has also been known to affect fingernails and toe nails by causing pits or dents in them. There is also the possibility that the soft tissue inside the mouth and genitalia can be affected. In some cases, individuals experience joint inflammation, which can lead to the development of arthritis symptoms. This condition is known as psoriatic arthritis.

There are many beliefs as to what causes psoriasis. Although no one knows for sure, many scientists believe that a biochemical stimulus triggers the abnormally high skin growth, which in turn causes the symptoms of skin lesions. Heredity also plays a role in the development of psoriasis symptoms. Individuals who have a family member with a severe case of psoriasis tend to experience early onset of the disease. Recent 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.

Because psoriasis is a lifelong condition, the levels of its severity and improvement can fluctuate over time. Psoriasis is not a contagious skin condition. An individual instead, has a genetic predisposition for this skin condition, which can be activated by certain environmental factors or emotional stress. Individuals with psoriasis may find that their condition tends to flare up due to stress, certain medications, winter weather, and infections. Most often psoriasis affects the scalp, knees, elbows, hands, and feet.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder that affects over 6 million people in the United States . 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. Psoriasis presents itself equally in men and women and is rarely life threatening. It appears most frequently between the ages of 15 and 35, but it is possible for the symptoms to occur very early or very late in life. A general picture of psoriasis can encompass different stages. Some people may experience limited symptoms while others may experience more widespread symptoms. Psoriasis is characterized by silvery-white scaly patches of various size seen most commonly on the knees, elbows, and scalp. These symptoms occur 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 symptoms of red, raised, scaly patches and lesions. Although some individuals complain of itching, it is not a very common complaint. Only 30% of people with psoriasis complain of itching. Individuals who scratch their psoriasis can cause cracking and bleeding, making the condition worse. Development of psoriasis is caused by genetic factors and approximately one-third of individuals with psoriasis can trace the cause to a positive family history.

Types of Psoriasis

Plaque-type psoriasis is the most common form of the disease and is commonly referred to as psoriasis vulgaris. It is characterized by symptoms of inflamed skin lesions topped with silvery white scales. It can assume many different appearances based on where it is located, the activity of the disease, and the treatment being administered. It is most commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, sacrum, umbilicus, intergluteal cleft, and genitalia. View the symptoms of plaque psoriasis on the foot

Guttate psoriasis is characterized by small dot-like lesions. It is most common in children and young adults who have a prior history of upper respiratory infection, pharyngitis, or tonsillitis. The lesions are not as scaly as plaque-type psoriasis and are likely to be found on the trunk and involve the face.

Pustular psoriasis is characterized by pustules, which are blister-like lesions of non-infectious fluid, and intense scaling. Individuals with pustular psoriasis are often among the most seriously ill and may have to be hospitalized for treatment of their symptoms.

Erythrodermic psoriasis is the most uncommon form of psoriasis and is characterized by intense redness and swelling, exfoliation of dead skin, and pain. Erythrodermic psoriasis usually develops during the course of chronic psoriasis, however in some cases it may be the initial type of psoriasis even in children. Individuals with this type of psoriasis may experience symptoms of chills, low grade fever, and may be rather uncomfortable.

Inverse psoriasis is characterized by smooth inflamed lesions in the body folds -- armpits, under the breast, skin folds of the groin, buttocks, and genitals.

Koebner's Phenomenon psoriasis are psoriatic lesions which appear at the site of injury, infection or other skin psoriasis, or may be a new lesion in an existing case.

The degree of psoriasis can also vary from individual to individual. It ranges in severity from mild (affects less than 2% of body) to moderate (affects 2-10% of body) to severe (affects greater than 10% of the body). Skin injury and irritation, sun exposure, diet, stress and anxiety, medications, and infections have been known to make psoriasis worse.

Lifestyle Changes for Psoriasis

It is important to approach the treatment of psoriasis in as many ways as possible: those who modify their lifestyles, eating habits and reduce their level of stress often experience a much greater degree of psoriasis clearing. While you try to treat the symptoms of the skin (psoriasis) that are most visible and distressing, you should try treating the cause!

SEBORRHEIC SCALP PSORIASIS :

The scalp may be the first site on the body to be affected by psoriasis. Psoriasis that affects the scalp is called Seborrheic scalp psoriasis. Psoriasis on the scalp is common and, in many cases, it is the only area affected. Seborrheic scalp psoriasis usually consists of red, scaly patches that may appear lumpy. The edges of these patches tend to be well defined. Seborrheic scalp psoriasis can extend beyond the hairline, onto the forehead. Psoriasis of the scalp does not damage the hair follicle and is not associated with hair loss, but if the scale is thick and forms hard lumps, it may lead to temporary hair thinning.

Scalp psoriasis can be very mild, with slight, fine scaling. It can also be very severe with thick, crusted plaques covering the entire scalp. Seborrheic scalp psoriasis can be extremely uncomfortable. It is often very itchy, and the psoriatic patches that are inflamed and sore can start to bleed if they are scratched or picked. Seborrheic scalp psoriasis is not caused by poor hygiene or hair care. Itchiness can inflame and irritate the condition.

Scalp psoriasis may resemble severe dandruff. Patches of thick, flaky skin may extend to the forehead below the hairline. Scales may build up in the outer ear. The face itself is usually unaffected; this is an important feature in diagnosis due to the fact that with rosacea you can have episodes of seborrheic dermatitis. Approximately 35% of people with rosacea have seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis involves overactive sebaceous glands, which cause inflammation, flaking and a red rash in the central portion of the face. If one looks closely, the flakes usually have a greasy look, smell and feel. The dryness of seborrheic dermatitis is perceived because of the flaking, which consists of dried layers of accumulated oil. Seborrheic dermatitis causes yellowish scales to develop on the scalp, the hairline and the eyebrows. This is often confused with the crusting and scaling on the eyelids that occur with ocular rosacea.
