PSORIASIS

Psoriasis is a common, chronic relapsing immune mediated skin disease characterized by dry, thick and raised patches, papules, and plaques. These patches are often covered with a silvery-white coating called scale which usually itches. Psoriasis mainly affects the skin and joints. Various sites of the body such as scalp, face, trunk, limbs, palms and soles involve in psoriasis.

Types of psoriasis:

• Plaque psoriasis/Psoriasis vulgaris :-

  The most common form typically appears as raised areas of inflamed skin covered with silvery white scaly skin. These areas are called plaques and are most commonly found on the knees, elbows, scalps and back

  .
• Inverse psoriasis :-

  It appears as smooth inflamed patches of skin that affect skin folds of abdomen, intergluteal cleft and under the breasts.

• Guttate psoriasis :-

  It is characterized by numerous small, scaly, red, teardrop-shaped lesions which appears primarily on the trunk, but also the limbs and scalp. It is preceded by a streptococcal infection.

• Pustular psoriasis :-

  It appears as raised bumps filled with noninfectious pus. It can be localized or generalized, the skin under and surrounding the pustules is red and tender.

• Erythrodermic psoriasis:-

  It involves widespread inflammation and exfoliation of the skin accompanied by severe itching, swelling and pain. This form can be fatal as the extreme inflammation and exfoliation disrupt the body’s ability to regulate temperature and perform barrier functions.

Causes of Psoriasis:

It is not purely a skin disorder and can have a negative impact on many organ systems. It is considered as a genetic disease thought to be triggered by environmental factors. It develops when the immune system mistakes anormal skin cell for a pathogen and sends out faulty signals that cause overproduction of new skin cells. It is difficult to treat due to its chronic recurrent nature but various treatments can help to control the symptoms.
