Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by well-defined red plaques with a white scale surface. Examples of environmental influences include climate, trauma to the skin, or an infection of the ear or upper respiratory tract. It is a skin condition characterized by rapidly dividing skin cells. The cells divide and grow at a rate almost ten times faster than normal skin.

Psoriasis is a chronic, recurring, non-contagious skin disorder that is characterized by raised, thickened reddish patches on the skin covered with silvery-white scales that may vary in severity and affect any part of the body, including the nails, scalp and the genital region.

The argument or philosophy that there is no cure for psoriasis is not really true. We need to have an open approach to all systems of medicines for no single system can claim superiority or authority over the others in understanding the complex human system and its problems.

A correct diagnosis of scalp psoriasis is essential in treating the condition as there are other skin disorders which may look similar such as seborrhoeic dermatitis. The difference being that scalp psoriasis scales appear fine with a silvery colour, whilst seborrhoeic dermatitis scales often are yellowish and greasy. One of the most frustrating symptoms is the constant shower of scale on to your collar and shoulders.

These creams (also known as topical treatments) shouldn't even be categorized as a Psoriasis Treatment. What they are... are simply Psoriasis Itch Reliefs. They simply help in reducing the build-up of scales which cause unbearable itching, causing you to scratch until you bleed.

Symptoms of Psoriasis

1.Red patches of skin.

2.Small scaling spots.

3. Itching.

4.Burning.

Psoriasis symptoms can seem to come and go, even without treatment. Also, some people only have a very mild case while others experience far more severe symptoms. When symptoms do arise, the following are the most recognizable:

1-Thick skin rash (generally located on the hands, feet, knees, elbows, scalp or lower back areas)

2-Rash may be red, white or a silver looking color

The treatments for psoriasis

Every individual who is affected by the skin disease known as psoriasis is different. Because every individual is different and because there are various different types of psoriasis the treatments for psoriasis are not always the same. This is why physicians and/or dermatologists perform numerous different trial treatments to see which treatment the patient responds best to.

The cause of psoriasis is uncontrolled skin-cell growth, the rate at which skin cells divide in psoriasis is roughly 1,000 times greater than in normal skin. This is a condition that generally can tend to run in families. Some cases I have seen in the clinic are quite severe, and can be quite physically and emotionally traumatic for the person involved.

There are many types of psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis appears a dry, scaly patch on the skin. Guttate psoriasis causes pink and red drop like patches on the skin. Inverse psoriasis causes smooth red lesions in the armpits and groins. Pustular psoriasis appears as red lesions with white pus filled blisters.

Nails grow from the nail plate which is just under the cuticle. In people who develop psoriasis of the nails it is involvement of the nail plate that causes pitting and ridging of the nails. Onycholysis, subungual hyperkeratosis and splinter haemorrhages are due to disease of the nail bed.

Some of these extreme treatments for psoriasis were believed to have serious side effects such as liver diseases and lymphoma. Such treatments though are not recommended today, and there are many safe medical and home treatments for the psoriasis sufferer to choose from.

There are a few psoriasis natural remedies that will help in reducing the severity of psoriasis. The best natural remedies are: you can take bath with hot Epsom salts and after you bath you can massage olive oil on the affected area, you can mix sea salt in water and apply that on the affected area, you should take bitter guard juice with lime juice on an empty stomach for at least five months, you can use cabbage leaf pulp too on the affected area.
