What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is 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. Psoriasis is a non-contagious, chronic skin disorder that affects over 6 million people in the United States (National Psoriasis Foundation). In a person without psoriasis new skin cells take about a month or so to move from the deepest skin layer where they are 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 often on the elbows, hands, feet, and scalp, but they can show up on other parts of the body. These symptoms are usually worse in the winter months due to the lack of sunlight and low indoor humidity. Psoriasis presents itself equally in men and women and is rarely life threatening (Whitman and McGibbon). The degree of psoriasis can 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.

Types of Psoriasis

  • Plaque-type psoriasis is the most common form of the disease and is commonly referred to as psoriasis vulgaris (Camisa 56). It is characterized by inflamed skin lesions topped with silvery white scales.
  • 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 (Camisa 64). 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 (Camisa 67).
  • Erythrodermic psoriasis is the rarest 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 (Camisa 74). Individuals with this type of psoriasis may experience chills, low grade fever, and may be rather uncomfortable (Camisa 75).
  • 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.

UNDERSTANDING PLAQUE PSORIASIS /PSORIASIS VULGARIS

Plaque-type psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis. The technical name for plaque psoriasis is psoriasis vulgaris (vulgaris means common).

Inflamed skin lesions topped with silvery white scales characterize plague psoriasis. The scales are actually a buildup of dead skin cells. It is most commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, sacrum, umbilicus, intergluteal cleft, and genitalia. The patches of infected skin can be quite large, extending over much of the body. The patches, known as plaques or lesions can be very itchy and if scratched or scraped they may bleed easily. The actual appearance of the plaques can depend on where they are found on the body. Plaques found on the palms and soles can be scaly, however they may not be very red in color. This is due to the thickness of the skin at these sites. The plaques usually have a well-defined edge and, while they can appear anywhere on the body, the most commonly affected areas are the scalp, knees and elbows. The face is rarely affected. However, if the scalp is involved, you may develop psoriasis on the hairline and forehead. If the plaques are in moist areas, such as in the creases of the armpits or between the buttocks, there is usually little or no scaling. The patches are red and have a well-defined border.

Each psoriatic patch looks like a series of little discs or plaques that have super-imposed themselves on to the body. This plaque-like shape is peculiar to this form of the condition and is what gives it its name. The plaques are often round or oval in shape or they may not have a distinct shape, but they almost always stand out from the surrounding area of the body. The patches are red and rough to the touch and the affected skin incredibly scaly. Scaling can be kept to a minimum by regularly moisturizing the skin with the relevant creams and ointments. It is important to keep the skin moisturized even when the psoriatic patches seem to have cleared. Often the skin underneath has not yet healed and, if it isn't treated properly, the scaling may return quite quickly. The difference between the normal skin and the area affected by psoriasis can be quite marked. Each patch can start as a very small lesion, and then enlarge over a period of days or weeks. Individual psoriatic patches can spread and join with each other to affect a large area of the body. In a typical flare up, the condition can spread quite quickly over a few days or weeks and then stabilize before gradually disappearing. The psoriatic patches become less red and scaly until they reduce in size or disappear completely.

Chronic (or common) plaque psoriasis affects over 90% of sufferers. It appears usually on the scalp, lower back, elbows, arms, legs, knees and shoulders. It is very much an adult condition and is seldom seen in children. Chronic plaque psoriasis is not always itchy, nor is it always an uncomfortable condition, but its appearance, along with the shedding of the skin, can cause many sufferers a great deal of stress.

Many scientists believe that a biochemical stimulus triggers an abnormally high skin growth, which will in turn cause the psoriasis skin lesions. Heredity also plays a role in the development of psoriasis. 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 may cause abnormal activity by T cells in the skin. These abnormally active T cells cause skin inflammation and increased cell production. Diet and vitamin influences are thought to play a role in psoriasis development and progression
