What is psoriasis?
It is a very common, chronic, inflammatory skin disease that occurs in about 2% of people. Both women and men are equally susceptible, and the ages at which it usually appears are between 20 and 35 years. There are many forms of psoriasis. The most common form is plaque psoriasis, that is, common psoriasis. Studies conducted over time suggest that genetic as well as environmental factors are intertwined with the onset and progression of the disease. The heredity of the disease concerns only the patient’s predisposition. Later, some environmental factor must activate it.
More about Psoriasis
The patient is usually affected in areas that have thicker skin, such as the knees, elbows, the hairy area of the head, and also the interphalangeal joints of the hands. If the condition is triggered, there is no way to eliminate it, but it can only be maintained in remission with appropriate treatment. The therapeutic regimen can be systemic or topical depending on the patient’s condition. Additionally, weight gain, smoking, and alcohol use should be avoided. Known aggravating factors for psoriasis include stress or some trauma, such as a sunburn. Conversely, if the patient consistently uses moisturizing products and is exposed to the sun after using sunscreen, their clinical picture will improve significantly. Finally, psoriasis is NOT considered a contagious disease!
