What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is more than just a skin condition. It's a chronic, often misunderstood immune-related issue that affects over 125 million people worldwide. Psoriasis causes the skin to regenerate faster than normal, leading to dry, red, scaly patches, often on the scalp, elbows, knees, or back.
It’s not contagious, but it is persistent and individual. Symptoms and triggers can vary from person to person.
Common triggers include:
- Stress
- Cold, dry weather
- Certain medications
- Skin trauma or injury
- Hormonal changes
Types of Psoriasis?
There are five main types:
Plaque Psoriasis: the most common form, with thick red patches and white scales.
Guttate Psoriasis: small, drop-shaped spots, often triggered by infections.
Inverse Psoriasis: smooth, shiny lesions that appear in skin folds.
Pustular Psoriasis: white pustules surrounded by red skin.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis: a rare, severe form causing widespread redness, scaling, and intense discomfort.
What triggers it?
Psoriasis can be triggered or worsened by:
- Stress
- Skin trauma (cuts, scrapes, sunburn)
- Infections (like strep throat)
- Hormonal changes
- Cold, dry weather
- Certain medications
- Smoking and alcohol
Each person’s triggers and symptoms can vary, making psoriasis a highly individual condition.
Is there a cure?
There is currently no known cure for psoriasis. However, with the right care and support, many people are able to manage their symptoms.
