Psoriasis

First of all. What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterised by scaling & inflammation. The scaling occurs when cells in the outer layer of the skin reproduce faster than normal & pile up on the skin's surface. Although the disease occurs in all age groups & about equally in men & woman, it primarily affects adults. People with Psoriasis may suffer discomfort, including pain & itching, restricted motion in their joints & emotional distress.

In it's most typical form, psoriasis results in patches of thick red skin covered with slivery scales. These patches are sometimes referred to as plaques, usually itchy & may have a burning feeling. The skin at the joints may crack psoriasis often occurs on the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, face, palms & soles of feet. The disease may also affect the fingernails, the toenails & the soft tissues inside the mouth. About 15% of people with psoriasis have joint inflammation that produces arthritis symptoms. This condition is called psoriatic arthritis. Please read about ActiveCareCream.

In about one third of cases, psoriasis is inherited. People with psoriasis may notice that there are times when their skin worsens, then improves. Conditions that may cause flare-ups include changes in climate, infections, stress & dry skin.
