Psoriasis treatment

Psoriasis Effect on the Quality of Life:

Psoriasis is a disease whose main symptom is gray or silvery flaky patches on the skin which are red and inflamed underneath. In the United States, it affects 2 to 2.6 percent of the population, or between 5.8 and 7.5 million people. Commonly affected areas include the scalp, elbows, knees, arms, stomach and back. Psoriasis is autoimmune in origin, and is not contagious. Around a quarter of people with psoriasis also suffer from psoriatic arthritis, which is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in its effects. Psoriasis was first given that name in complete differentiation from other skin conditions by the Austrian dermatologist Ferdinand von Hebra in 1841, although there are what are believed to be descriptions of the disease in sources going back to ancient Roman and possibly even biblical times.supercareproducts

Uh, actually it is an auto-imune disease which mean your immune system attacks some skin cells kiling and expelling them to the surface before they have properlly and fully matured.

The sun aka. UV light is proven to help psoriasis which can be worsened by stress, and cold enviroments.

Common treatments include, topical steroids, injectable steroids and sun lamps.

I know this skin condition can be passed on by genes from parents.

My sister has a sever case of psoriasis, but recently went on a series of shots to help control it. The shots have worked wonderfully but we're not sure of the long term side effects.

The sun & the ocean do wonders for my psoriasis. I have it on my fore arms elbows & knees & I hate it.

I'm now seeing a naturopath..... Best treatment yet by far. If your struggling to control your Ps or your Psoriatic Arthritis or any long term health issue you must see a naturopath. I'm see a practitioner at "the psoriasis & skin clinic" google it... They have clinics all over Australia.
