Here you will find some interesting information on the subject of psoriasis.

What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a noncontagious skin disease which causes the skin cells to reproduce too fast causing dry, red spots which then start to thicken and to scurf.
Psoriasis appears most often on elbows, knees and scalp.

Some people have such a mild form of psoriasis (small dry and slightly red spots) that they do not even suspect to be struck by psoriasis. Others have severe cases of psoriasis where practically the whole body is covered with thick, red, scabby spots.

According to orthodox medicine psoriasis is still considered a not remediable, long-term (chronic) skin disease. Psoriasis can appear irregularly with times of improvement and times of deterioration. Help with psoriasis
Some people experience a deterioration of the symptoms during the colder winter months. Many people experience an improvement during the warmer months.
Psoriasis can be observed with people of every age, from babies to senior citizens, but the most often diagnosed patients are from the first adult years.

What are the causes of Psoriasis?
The exact cause is, in spite of long-standing research, unknown. It can be a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors.
It is often the case that all members of the same family are struck by psoriasis. The immune system also plays an important role.
Although there has been some progress in research during the last thirty years, the pharmaceutical industry still considers psoriasis a conundrum.

Psoriasis is a relatively frequent skin disease. According to estimates more than 125 million people worldwide suffer from Psoriasis.

How does psoriasis look and what are the symptoms?
As a rule psoriasis are raised red or pink areas of the skin which thicken and are dry. The classical spots are elbows, knees and scalp. But basically every part of the body can be afflicted.
Psoriasis has many different appearances. There can be small almost invisible red spots. But there can also be large, thickened, extremely scabbing spots.

There are different kinds of psoriasis as for example psoriasis vulgaris, psoriasis guttata (small, drop spot like), inverse psoriasis (in the folds of the forearm, navel and bottom) and psoriasis pustulosa (small pustules filled with yellowish liquid).
Psoriasis can also appear on the head of the penis. In humid areas, as for example the area between navel and bottom, psoriasis is often mistaken for other skin diseases, like fungal infections, yeast infections, skin irritations or bacterial infections.

On the fingernails psoriasis can appear as very small pits or white spots on the nail or as a bigger yellowish-brown separation of the nail bed. Psoriasis of the nail is often wrongly diagnosed as a fungal infection. As a rule psoriasis of the nail is very difficult to treat.

On the scalp psoriasis manifests as red spots which can also scab strongly. It can be difficult to recognize the difference between psoriasis of the scalp and seborrhea (dandruff).
However, the treatment for both conditions is often very similar. Help with psoriasis

Can psoriasis damage my joints?
Yes, in about 10%-35% of the cases inflammations of the joints appear (arthritis). Indeed, painful joints are sometimes the only sign of psoriasis, in spite of absolutely pure skin.
The disease in connection with psoriasis is called psoriasis arthritis. Inflammations can appear in all joints, however, the joints of hands, knees and ankles are affected the strongest as a rule.
Psoriasis arthritis is an inflammatory, devastating form of arthritis and is treated with drugs to prevent the progression of the illness.

The average age for the beginning of the psoriasis arthritis is between thirty and forty years.
On suspicion of psoriasis arthritis you should absolutely see a doctor who should examine this by means of a lab test. Only a lab test and X-ray examination can give certainty about the gravity of the illness, as well as exclude other diagnoses as for example rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Is it possible to pass psoriasis on to my children?
Yes, this is possible. Although psoriasis is not contagious, there is a genetic tendency of passing on psoriasis from parents to children.

Which kind of doctor can diagnose psoriasis?
Dermatologists are specialized on diagnosing psoriasis. Rheumatologists are specialized on diagnosing psoriasis arthritis.
