How to avoid Psoriasis

Psoriasis affects 7.5 million people all across the US. As much as 2 or 3% of the global population is affected by Psoriasis. While it is a fact that certain medications, weather conditions, lifestyle habits and infections can trigger Psoriasis, an individual can prevent Psoriasis by following certain things.

Strengthening immune system- A weak immune system makes a person more susceptible to Psoriasis. This is why strengthening the immunity is crucial. By incorporating a balanced diet comprising, fruits, vegetables, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, a person can boost the power of the immune system. In addition, ensuring adequate rest and a minimum of 7-8 hours of rest everyday will also help. Keeping oneself hydrated by drinking lots of water everyday is also a good way to fight infection in the body. By eating certain foods like the Gooseberry, a person can keep the immune system strong and fight infection. This can prevent Psoriasis and any kind of skin inflammation.

Knowledge of trigger factors- By carefully observing what trigger factors cause Psoriasis in an individual, a person can keep Psoriasis at bay. In most cases, it may not be practical to avoid all triggers. However, knowledge of these factors can help the person proactively change their lifestyle or habits.

Quitting smoking- Smoking is known to be a trigger factor for Plaque and Pustular Psoriasis. By reducing or quitting smoking, the person can avoid Psoriasis flare-ups. In addition, it maybe noted that supplements or nicotine patches can also act as triggers for Psoriasis. Ideally, nicotine patches and smoking should be avoided.

Avoiding drinking- Alcohol consumption is a major trigger of Psoriasis. It can also hamper the effectiveness of existing treatments of Psoriasis. In addition, if the person is already consuming Methotrexate, then alcohol should be avoided at all costs. There can be fatal consequences and side effects because of the reaction of the drug and the alcohol.

Relaxation techniques- Stress is one of the biggest triggers of Psoriasis. By reducing stress a person can help avoid Psoriasis. Various techniques can be leveraged to combat stress. Various techniques such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing etc. can help a person relax. In addition, regular exercise, participation in counseling sessions and support groups can also help. By interacting with other patients who have Psoriasis, the individual can feel less stressed about the condition.

Avoidance of scratching- Scratching the areas infected with Psoriasis can worsen symptoms. It can also induce spread of more infection as germs from the fingernails can contaminate the region. Cold compresses can alleviate the condition dramatically. Usage of antiseptic moisturizers as well as taking lukewarm water baths can also help. It is best to avoid excessively hot water as it can aggravate the skin and worsen the Psoriasis infection. Using very hot water on Psoriasis affected skin can cause histamine reactions. This leads to more itchiness in the area. Usage of soap is also not advisable as it dries the skin. Instead, using a cream-based or mild cleanser is recommended. This helps cleanse the skin of impurities and infection without drying the skin. Dry skin is also susceptible to infection of Psoriasis and this should be avoided. Gently patting the Psoriasis affected area dry after a bath will prevent the tendency to rub or scratch the area. This curtails itching as well.

Protection- Usage of sunscreens is recommended while venturing into the sun. Sunburns can trigger Psoriasis. Wearing protective cotton clothing also helps curtail spread of Psoriasis.

We hope that you have found some way to eliminate your Psoriasis. Psoriasis afflicts a large multitude of people globally. You are not alone in this battle and we have helped thousands of people get their Psoriasis under control or even completely eliminate Psoriasis from their life all together. General Information

We hope that information we have for you helps you identify exactly the type of Psoriasis that you may be diagnosed with.  Remember, we are here for YOU, please let us know any way that we can help you.

There are five kinds of Psoriasis affecting individuals. Each of these has their own characteristics and unique formations, which help in ease of identification.

Plaque- Represented as one of the commonest forms of Psoriasis, this disease affects 80% of major Psoriasis patients. Typical characteristics of such a condition are inflamed and reddish skin, which is topped by silvery and whitish scaly formations. Primary areas of their incidence are elbows, knees, lower back and the scalp. In some persons, plaque can happen on other body areas as well.

Guttate- Guttate Psoriasis predominantly occurs in adolescents and children. Typical characteristics of such a condition include reddish, small-sized spots over the skin. This kind of skin condition happens suddenly and there are many trigger factors for this. These include infections inside the upper respiratory tract, streptococcal infections, stress and anxiety, skin injuries as well as induced by certain drugs.

Inverse- Typical characteristics of Inverse Psoriasis include extremely red lesions over the skin. These lesions are devoid of scaly formations and hence look smooth and shiny. Excessive rubbing or accumulation of sweat can result in these lesions. Typical locations in the body where Inverse Psoriasis is commonly found include below breasts, armpits, genital skin folds, groin as well as the buttock area. If a person is obese or has skin folds, which are deeper than normal then they are prone to Inverse Psoriasis. If the condition is found on sensitive regions then treatment becomes more difficult.

Pustular- Pustular Psoriasis primarily infects adults. Characteristics of this condition include white pustule formations, which are surrounded with reddish inflamed skin. Primary areas of concentration on the body include feet and hands. In some persons, Pustular Psoriasis occurs on the whole body.

Within the Pustular Psoriasis category, there are four sub-divisions or types. These are:

Localized- Singular or multiple Psoriasis patches develop pustule formations. If these areas are irritated or high doses of medicines are administered then this localized Pustular Psoriasis can develop.

Palmo-Planter- In this condition, the soles and palms of the body are affected, thereby accounting for its name. The size of the pustules is like that of an eraser and typical concentrations occur on heel sides and thumb base areas. The pustules look like studs and start initially as red formations, which turn brown later on. Subsequently these formations start peeling off and the area assumes a crusty appearance. This activity continues in a cyclic style.

Acropustulosis- This is localized Pustular Psoriasis, primarily affecting the toes, fingers and thumbs. The pustule formations occur and subsequently they burst. These leave behind bright red formations, which can ooze pus, or be crusty and scaly in appearance. The nails assume crumbly, abnormal appearances and can often get uplifted. This happens because of pus layers underneath. However, the incidence of such a type of Pustular Psoriasis is rare.

Generalized- In such a kind of Pustular Psoriasis, there will be reddish skin initially. This is accompanied by tenderness and pain in the areas. During the next 1-2 days, there is peeling and drying up of the pustules. The skin assumes a glazy and smooth appearance and this continues in a cyclic activity for several weeks. Accompanying side effects include itching, chills and fever, enhanced pulse rates, dehydration, anemia, weakness of muscle and loss of weight. If this condition is manifested in adults, the trigger factor could be stopping steroids all of a sudden. This is a fatal condition, which necessitates immediate hospitalization.

Erythrodermic- This kind of Psoriasis affects the entire body of the individual. Redness in skin, itchiness, pain and skin shedding are common symptoms. Due to excess loss of fluids and protein the patient can contract long term illness. Thus, the person can experience fatal conditions, heart failure or even pneumonia. Cortisone usage sunburns or drug allergies can trigger such a condition.

General Information
Psoriasis is a skin condition, which is not contagious. The Psoriasis Plaque causes Psoriasis. Primary characteristics of the infection include scaly, reddish patches on the skin. Due to excessive production of skin, these areas become inflamed resulting in Psoriasis.

Common places of occurrence
Common body parts where Psoriasis occurs include the knees and elbows. However, other areas such as genitals and the scalp can be affected by Psoriasis. Unlike eczema, in the case of Psoriasis, the condition occurs on extensor portion of a joint. The extent of Psoriasis occurrence can vary from specific spots to the entire body.
