Psoriasis

Psoriasis, marked by red and itchy patches, is a persistent skin condition that goes beyond the physical discomfort, impacting one’s overall well-being. Understanding the nuances of this condition is pivotal for individuals seeking relief, both physically and emotionally.

Dealing with psoriasis can be challenging, but at Swasthya Homoeo Clinic in Ludhiana, you’ll find not just medical care but compassionate support.

What is

Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated condition where the immune system mistakenly accelerates skin cell growth, leading to the formation of plaques. These plaques can cause discomfort and affect one's quality of life.

Why Psoriasis Occurs:

 

Psoriasis occurs due to a complex interplay of genetics and environmental factors. Triggers may include stress, infections, or certain medications. The immune system’s response leads to the rapid turnover of skin cells, resulting in the visible symptoms of psoriasis.

Symptoms

of Psoriasis:

  • Red Patches: Raised, red patches on the skin are a hallmark of psoriasis.
  • Itching: Intense itching is common, adding to the physical and emotional burden.

  • Flaking and Scaling: Psoriasis often causes the skin to flake and scale, contributing to discomfort and self-consciousness.

Frequently asked questions

Psoriasis is currently considered a chronic condition without a cure, but various treatments can effectively manage symptoms and improve quality of life. These treatments aim to reduce inflammation, slow down skin cell growth, and alleviate discomfort. It’s essential to work closely with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Psoriasis can extend beyond the physical appearance of the skin, impacting emotional well-being and daily activities. It may lead to feelings of self-consciousness, stress, or anxiety. Additionally, psoriasis has been associated with other health conditions like psoriatic arthritis, which affects the joints. Seeking support from healthcare providers, support groups, or mental health professionals can be beneficial.

No, psoriasis is not contagious. It is an autoimmune condition that results from the immune system’s misdirected attack on healthy skin cells. You cannot “catch” psoriasis from someone with the condition, and it is not transmitted through touch or other forms of contact.
