Skin complaints can be embarrasing and often painful, at the best of times and psoriasis is no exception. So what is psoriasis and can it be cured?
Psoriasis is a chronic (ie long term) condition that is caused from excessive skin cell growth. Patches of thick scaly skin form on elbows, knees, lower back or scalp and these are in effect excess cells which have been produced too quickly and that the body has been unable to shed. They can be white, silvery or red in color and often crack and bleed. In some cases, the psoriasis can also affect the nails and in severe cases lead to a dehabilitating arthritis. The most common type of psoriasis is called plaque psoriasis and this can usually be controlled by the use of a good quality psoriasis cream.
Psoriasis is a very common disease and almost 7.5 million people in the US alone, suffer from it. For a lot of people it is simply a nuisance, something that they put up with, but for the remainder it can consume every aspect of their everyday life. It can occur at any age but generally will develop between the age of 15 to 30. Some people will experience weekly or monthly flare ups of the condition whilst others will just get them occasionally.
When the psoriasis flares up, the sufferer will experience severe itching and pain, together with the skin cracking and bleeding. The pain can often wake the sufferer, leading to sleep deprivation which can affect their concentration at school or work. Sufferers can also feel depressed, sad or angry and lack self confidence.
Since psoriasis is a chronic condition, a person needs to look at ways of effectively controlling it so that they can carry on with their lives and get back their confidence.
