What is Psoriasis?

A common chronic disease affects the skin. In the severity of the disease, scales form on the affected areas. The severity of psoriasis decreases in hot weather, as the skin does not dry out in the heat. In contrast, droughts in winter increase the severity of the disease.

Our skin plays an important role in shaping the human body. Human skin consists of three layers, and the outermost layer is of paramount importance.

Our skin is made up of many things, including water, proteins, and minerals. We take special care of our skin to make ourselves beautiful in the eyes of others. In our society, poor diet and contaminated water cause many skin diseases. Psoriasis is one of these skin diseases. This disease is centuries old.

Symptoms of Psoriasis:

In this disease, a small part of the skin becomes white and reddish in color. There is severe discharge at this site, and in winter, this itching becomes extremely painful. Itching of these skin spots should be avoided, as more itching can spread them further.

(1) These spots appear on the body in the form of small rashes, which, due to further itching, turn into large spots and white reddish sores and bruises.

(2) Red spots on the skin on which white matter (Secretion of Pus) accumulates to form white shells.

(3) Dryness of the skin, cracking and bleeding from wounds from itching.

(4) Itching, burning, and soreness

(5) Joints stiffness and swelling

(6) Pain and bruising in the nails, discoloration, and yellowing.

Psoriasis (psoriasis) can appear on any part of the body, such as the hands, feet, neck, behind the ears, on the scalp, even overall body.

Causes of the disease:

There are two common causes of psoriasis.

1: Biology, Human Genetics

2: Immune System

  • Genetical Disease

Psoriasis is generally considered to be a disease that is passed on from generation to generation.

Immune system:

It can also be caused by a defect in the immune system. Medical science has not yet fully understood the disease, but medical experts believe that the disease is related to the immune system's T cells and white cell type Neuterphylls.

T-cells live to protect against harmful bacteria and viruses that enter the body. If a person has the disease, his or her body's T cells mistakenly attack their healthy skin cells as 'harmful cells'. Moreover, as it is necessary to eliminate infection or to heal a wound and quickly begin to destroy them. Therefore, the immune system needs to function properly as it protects against bacterial and viral infections. A chronic disease is not contagious, meaning it is not transmitted from one person to another.

Different types of psoriasis:

A: Plaque psoriasis: 

The most common type. In this, the skin becomes dry, red, and rough, due to which secretion is secreted and accumulates on the skin and peels form. This causes itchy and painful spots on the skin.

B: Nail Psoriasis: 

In this type of psoriasis, the nails of the hands and feet become ugly, colorless, yellow, rough, and damaged. Often, as the disease progresses, the nails begin to break, causing severe pain. This type of psoriasis is more common in women than in men. This prevents blood from reaching the nails and weakens the roots of the nails.

C: Head / Scalpprosis

Psoriasis occurs in a specific part of the head or the whole head. It is usually red in color, surrounded by scales. In some people, it can reach dangerous levels, causing the hair to fall out.

D: Joint Psoriasis
