Smooth Skin
The telltale signs of a youthful look are tight, smooth skin. However, conditions like psoriasis can challenge that and cause you to age prematurely. When we begin to notice changes to our appearance it can be frightening and even disheartening. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that you have options that can boost your confidence once again. According to the Psoriasis Foundation, 8 million Americans currently suffer from psoriasis. You are not alone.
WHAT CAUSES
Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic condition caused by the overproduction of skin cells, that results in scaly, dry skin. Psoriasis itself is an autoimmune condition, meaning, your white blood cells attack your healthy skin cells. Often, people suffering from psoriasis will experience cracking skin that can bleed, along with many other symptoms:
● Reddened, inflamed skin
● White scales/patches on inflamed skin
● Dry, cracked, and bleeding skin
● Itching, burning, and soreness around patches
● Thick nails
● Swollen and painful joints
These symptoms can come and go through cycles, lasting days to weeks. The specific causes of psoriasis are still widely unknown, but you are at greater risk if you have type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, heart disease, psoriatic arthritis, anxiety, or depression.
Traditional Treatments for Psoriasis
Often, psoriasis is treated with corticosteroids, medications, and topical creams. However, these can often lead to serious side effects, so although you are treating one condition it could lead to the development of another. For example, corticosteroids are the most widely used treatment for psoriasis. Often, these will result in flare ups if treatment is discontinued and can lead to the development of acne, joint pain, and fatigue.
