Psoriasis Treatment and Its Facts - Athena Skin Clinic

The changing environments and lifestyles have really impacted our skin. Nowadays, there are a number of factors which are developing the issue of skin problems. As one of the common skin problems is the Psoriasis. This is basically something which comes and goes and causes soaring and inflammation on the skin in the form of pain, swelling, and redness. Or we can say that it is somewhat similar to eczema. The areas which are majorly affected are the knees, elbows, legs, face, feet and lower back etc.

The strangest fact about the Psoriasis is that it is highly contagious and can affect any age/sex.  Generally, the reasons behind this are not really known, but few are predicted by the researchers like the improper working of the immune system, genetic linkage, several medical conditions and environmental triggers.

Considering the improper functioning of the immune system, the skin cells starts growing 10 times faster than the normal rates and furthermore results in those raised patches. If someone is having Psoriasis in a family, then there are chances of developing this disease further. Some other environmental triggers are also known to be the reason behind Psoriasis like stress, injury to cuts/scrapes, infections and medications which includes lithium, quinidine etc. last but not the least, the health conditions which are linked to Psoriasis are arthritis, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high BP, depression and cardiovascular disease.

Treating Psoriasis is although not possible, but the effects can be reduced. In the majority of the cases, a physical examination of your skin, scalp, nails or the affected areas are conducted and a sample of your skin is taken for microscopic observation.  Once you feel that you are done with its diagnosis, then comes the right time to consult a dermatologist. The treatment of the Psoriasis depends upon the enormity, size, and type.

The treatment types include the various topical which are basically in the form of cream/foam/ointment and are applied on the top layer of the skin. Applying these directly on the skin will gradually slow down the surge of skin cells. The second treatment is the phototherapy, also known as the light therapy. In this, UV rays are commanded over the flaky layers. Next, comes the systemic which can be put away orally or can be injected. Last but not the least, the biologics, an advanced treatment for Psoriasis. They are basically in the form of drugs which helps to target various parts of the immune system and blocks them.
