What is Psoriasis?
Soriasis cannot be
cured although symptoms may disappear for long periods. Conventional
treatment for soriasis is aimed at controlling the condition
of soriasis.
Typically psoriasis sufferers
usually develop well defined red raised patches covered by silvery
scales which form first on the scalp, behind the ears, on the
back of the neck, between the shoulders, on elbows and knees
or near fingernails and toenails.
Other areas of the body can also be affected including the back,
the penis, the nails and even eyebrows. Individual psoriatic
patches can spread and join together to affect quite a large
area of the body. However, there are always psoriasis-free places
where the skin looks normal, which is an important characteristic
in diagnosing this condition.
The most common form of
psoriasis is psoriasis vulgaris. Other forms include localized
pustular psoriasis and exfoliative psoriatic dermatitis. Localized
pustular psoriasis usually only appears on the soles of the feet
and the palms of the hand; and instead of red, scaly patches
there's usually a mass of tiny yellow blisters. With exfoliative
psoriatic dermatitis the entire skin is red and covered in fine
scales. How is Psoriasis usually
treated?
Psoriasis cannot be cured
although symptoms may disappear for long periods. Conventional
treatment is aimed at controlling the condition and ranges from
simple topical treatments such as moisturizing and lubricating
products and corticosteroid creams to exposure to ultraviolet
light. Very severe conditions may be treated with anticancer
medications.
While conventional treatments
can be very effective, they can also be extremely harsh
- especially in the long-term -- and many treat only the external
symptoms.
