What causes psoriasis?
No researcher has been able to find an exact reason behind psoriasis developing on the skin. But, as per expert’s belief, psoriasis is caused by a combination of factors. It is thought to be an immune-mediated disease where the immune system cells mistakenly attack healthy skin cells causing the skin cells to grow at a faster rate and cause inflammation. Both hereditary and environmental factors also trigger this skin condition.
Who is at risk of developing psoriasis?
Psoriasis is triggered in the following cases:
- Skin infections or strep throat
- Dry, cold weather conditions
- Emotional or physical stress
- A skin injury like a cut, scrape, severe sunburn, or bug bite
- Active and passive smoking
- Heavy alcohol intake
- Intake of certain medications like hypertension drugs, antimalarial drugs, and lithium-based drugs
- A rapid withdrawal of oral or injectable corticosteroid.
Is psoriasis contagious?
No, psoriasis is not communicable and does not spread from an affected individual to a healthy individual.
How do dermatologists treat psoriasis?
Psoriasis symptoms can be relieved with varieties of treatment options, commonly including:
- Steroid creams
- Moisturisers in case of dry skin
- Medicated products
- Medications like anthralin can help reduce the rate of skin cell turnover
- Skin products containing Vitamin A/ret-inoid or D3 ointment.
If the above-mentioned treatments fail to work, or if psoriasis rashes cover large areas of the skin, dermatologists recommend for any of the following treatments:
- Light or LED therapy
- Psoralen-based UV light therapy (PUVA)
- Immunotherapy like biologics and small molecule inhibitors.
For effective psoriasis management a proper treatment plan is created by the dermatologist based on the severity of skin issue, location of skin rash, age, gender and general health status.
