Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition in which red
patches of various size develop on the skin covered with dry
,silvery scales. There are five
types, each with unique signs and symptoms. Between 10% and
30% of people who develop psoriasis get a related form of
arthritis called “psoriatic arthritis,” which causes
inflammation of the joints.
Psoriasis usually causes discomfort. The
skin often itches, and it may crack and bleed. In severe
cases, the itching and discomfort may keep a person awake at
night, and the pain can make everyday tasks difficult.
Plaque psoriasis is the most common type of psoriasis. About
80% of people who develop psoriasis have plaque psoriasis,
which appears as patches of raised, reddish skin covered by
silvery-white scale. These patches, or plaques, frequently
form on the elbows, knees, lower back and scalp.
The other types are guttate psoriasis (small, red spots on the
skin), pustular psoriasis (white pustules surrounded by red
skin), inverse psoriasis (smooth, red lesions form in skin
folds), and erythrodermic psoriasis (widespread redness,
severe itching, and pain).
Treatment depends on the severity and type of psoriasis. Some
psoriasis is so mild that the person is unaware of the
condition. A few develop such severe psoriasis that lesions
cover most of the body.
Research shows that the signs and symptoms of psoriasis
usually appear between 15 and 35 years of age. About 75%
develop psoriasis before age 40. However, it is possible to
develop psoriasis at any age. After age 40, a peak onset
period occurs between 50 and 60 years of age.
Causes :
Psoriasis is an
immune-mediated condition. This means the condition is caused
by faulty signals in the body’s immune system. It is believed
that psoriasis develops when the immune system tells the body
to over-react and accelerate the growth of skin cells.
Normally, skin cells mature and are shed from the skin’s
surface every 28 to 30 days. When psoriasis develops, the skin
cells mature in 3 to 6 days and move to the skin surface.
Instead of being shed, the skin cells pile up, causing the
visible lesions.
All types of psoriasis, ranging from mild to severe, can
affect a person’s life.
The people often feel frustrated. In some cases, psoriasis
limits activities and makes it difficult to perform job
responsibilities.
Psoriasis occurs in both children and adults and may appear at
any age, although it is most commonly diagnosed between the
ages of 15 and 35. Both men and women of any race may be
affected.
