Did You Know?

Psoriasis is a fairly common skin condition, for which there is currently no cure. Normally characterized by scaly, red patches, there may be cases where psoriasis can cover large portions of your skin.

There are several variations of psoriasis. These vary based on the region of the body they impact and the severity of the symptoms. For instance, some forms of the condition affect your fingernails and toenails, which cause abnormal growth and make them increasingly brittle. Other variants are more common around the armpits or groin regions. Some also target the soft tissue in your mouth, and can be very painful if timely treatment is not given. In some cases, it is possible for the skin condition to trigger symptoms of arthritis (known as psoriatic arthritis), sometimes including conjunctivitis.

Several factors can influence the onset of psoriasis in a predisposed individual. Smoking, stress, and heavy alcohol consumption are only a few of the commonly known triggers. These factors can aggravate psoriasis to different extents, but every response is individual.

Some types of psoriasis treatment aim to disrupt the spread of the disease, while others work more aggressively to counter the symptoms directly. Topical steroids will work on the skin to help reduce the spread of patches, while other medication needs to be taken orally to target the immune system’s ability to respond to the disease.
