Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an immune system disorder that has no cure, but can be treated with topical creams, injections and pills. Some people with psoriasis develop new lesions when their skin gets cut (shaving etc.). Since tattoos break the skin it is possible for someone who has psoriasis to develop lesions on or around their tattoo. Each person is different and they need to use their own judgement. If you have psoriasis you can get a tattoo, but be prepared for the outcome. Your tattoo could stay clear until the day you die or it could get covered by psoriasis.

the correct term for pimples is acne vulgaris

There are tree types of treatment for psorisis; topical treatment(for skin like creams), medicines (mostly light) and scalp solutions. Also there are natural remedies and diets that help in the treatment.

The most common sign of psoriasis is a psoriasis plaque, a raised, red skin patch covered by a silvery-white coating. Eight out of 10 people with psoriasis have plaques. These patches can form anywhere on your skin but are most likely to show up on your knees, elbows, lower back, and scalp. You may have several patches that join together to form a big patch. Plaques are itchy, but resist scratching them because scratching can make them become thicker.

In at least half of the people who have psoriasis, the scalp is affected. Scalp psoriasis can range from mild, dandruff-like scaling to crusty plaques that extend beyond your hairline to your forehead or neck. This type of psoriasis can be very itchy. Using a medicated shampoo may help with scalp psoriasis. As many as half of all people with psoriasis experience nail changes caused by the condition. Changes in your nails may include pitting (holes), alterations in color and shape, thickening, and separation of the nail from the nail bed. About one in twenty people with psoriasis will have painful, stiff joints. This type of joint pain and swelling is called psoriatic arthritis. In many cases psoriatic arthritis affects only the fingers and toes. If you develop psoriatic arthritis, you will almost certainly experience nail changes. In rare cases, this form of arthritis can be severe and affect the joints in your spine as well.

Psoriasis does not appear to directly cause any of these diseases, but it does put you at higher risk for developing them. Studies show that having psoriasis increases your risk of stroke and diabetes by about 40 percent. If you are 30 years old and you have severe psoriasis, your chances of having a heart attack are tripled. Take steps to lower your risk and protect your health by eating a heart-smart diet, getting regular exercise, and controlling your weight. Having psoriasis can be stressful. Studies show that people with psoriasis may have higher rates of depression and anxiety.

Vitamin B12 is unique amongst all the vitamins in that it is found almost exclusively in foods of animal origin.

Vitamin B12 skin creams moisturise, help to prevent premature wrinkles, reduce existing wrinkles and relieve skin damaged by prolonged exposure to the skin.

I just had a hysterectomy and bladder reconstruction. When I asked about the results of pathology I was told my uterus was larger than average but the thing that really got me thinking was a comment that my cervix has "psorisasis" type symptoms. I have psorisasis but not externally bad, but I also have "lesions" on my spleen and kidneys. I'm wondering if there is such a thing as internal psorisas because all my symptoms point to a psorisasis condidtion even though there's very little to be seen on my body (elbows, nails, spots on legs).

I'm not sure, but try giving it a fair bit of very gentle cleaning with gentle soap (such as liquid soap) and warm water for a week or two and see if it clears up. Consult your local doctor if you are still worried.

There's no reason why their lewayrs would offer such an opinion. Selective enforcement is completely OK in copyright and patent law, it's only a problem for a trademark. By selective enforcement I mean it's legally not a problem to chase Bill, Terry and Mike for infringing your rights, while turning a blind eye to Harry, Samantha and Oswald doing the exact same thing. It's your privilege as copyright holder to make these decisions.I think it is much more likely that a very low level drone has the job of searching Youtube and filing the necessary paperwork for infringing Youtube videos, and nuances like "this seems harmless" are above their pay grade, so everything gets the axe.

Yes, there are a list of natural psoriasis remedies. Dead sea salt, water therapy, food, homeopathy, herbs, and vitamins are all natural armaments for psoriasis.

There is no specific cause for psoriasis, but there are multiple triggers like an infection or stress that can cause psoriasis to appear. It is thought that psoriasis is a genetic disease, so a person can inherit it from its ancestors. However, this is not necessarily true for all psoriasis sufferers. For every person that has psoriasis, the triggers are different: the doctor will give you multiple blood tests to take and talk to you to see if stress affected your condition.

In my case, I inherited the disease from my grandmother, it activated when I was 13 due to stress and a streptococcus infection. My advice is that if you have psoriasis and children, try to talk to them all the time about avoiding stress and get them to doctor every time they are sick.

I don't really know but i can tell you this fact: my grandma has psoriasis, my grandpa didn't have psoriasis...none of their children had psoriasis but I (a grandchild) have psoriasis and I'm the only grandchild who inherited it...so, i suppose it is recessive.

I believe that if both parents have psoriasis then it's a 50/50 probability for their child to have psoriasis... I read in a newspaper that in a small village more than 50% of the people have psoriasis - that's because they married between them, person suffering from psor with person suffering from psor.

Psoriasis is a non-infectious skin disease that causes rashes and patches on the skin. Psoriasis cause painful swelling, bleeding cracks, scaling, itching, burning, and plaques. Psoriasis plaques affect any part of the skin including scalp, palms, elbows, and knees, nape of the neck, genitals, and soles of feet. A lot of herbs are used for the treatment of Psoriasis. Herbs like Aloe vera, Turmeric, Capsaicin etc are normally used. That may enhance the treatment.

This is a long answer but PLEASE read it......... I found a REAL solution to psoriasis through diet!!!

As a sufferer of psoriasis for about 12 years I have tried just about everything available from the doctor to try and control it. Pills, creams, soaks, etc. Unfortunately nothing worked, in fact it got worse, so bad that my skin became so dry and thickened that the simple act of just trying to bend my fingers would result in instant deep splits which bled all the time. I couldn't even write anymore with a pen because my skin wouldn't stretch to allow my hands to have proper movement. I would step out of bed in the morning and my feet would split in about 5 places, deep to the blood. I couldn't get my hands or feet wet because the water absoloulty stung beyond belief. I looked like a burns victim.

I did my own little trial with foods and noticed that when I ate pumpkin kernels (green ones) my skin improved. These are loaded with zinc which helps the skin. I also ate nuts (cashews, Brazil's - when I could afford them!)

It was still not enough to give me a normal life so I tried eliminating milk (all dairy). This helped a lot but still not enough.

Finally (a few months ago) I eliminated gluten. I substituted it with rice or corn crackers. Without a word of a lie, within about 6 hours I noticed that my feet were not itchy. (They were at this time, totally covered with thick crusty white flaking skin and itched like crazy) The itching had totally stopped! Within 1 week you could see such a huge improvement, and after 2 weeks thee were only a few very small thin patches left!!

Then I had wheat bread a few days later (I had lunch at a friends) and noticed that about 6 or so hours later my feet itched really badly again! I have discovered that I will itch within several hours after I have anything with gluten it it EVERY time, and if I continue to eat it, the psoriasis comes back very fast!

My advice is to try (even just for a week) to have NO gluten (no wheat, rye, barley or oats) and see if you are gluten-intolerant. Eating pumpkin kernals and nuts is very good too.

I have spoken to several other psoriasis sufferers and most are allergic to gluten and improved when they emininated it.

I hope this helps you - my family and friends are amazed at how I have improved - and just through my diet! I am now about 5 months into it, and my hands are clear as a bell, and my feet are "almost" there!!

No, psoriasis is not caused by a bacterium, or an infection of any kind.

My symptoms tend to be a hard white/silver flaky skin all over the scalp when i it gets bad , consult a doctor on this one and they will recommend treatment

i have found that coconut oil works for me when it isnt too bad

The conditions that affect all layers of the skin are vast. Two conditions are cancer and deep burns on the skin.

Vitiligo or leukodermia is a chronic skin condition that causes loss of pigment, resulting in irregular white patches in skin. The precise cause of vitiligo is complex and not fully understood. There is some evidence suggesting it is caused by a combination of auto-immune, genetic, and environmental factors. The population incidence in the United States is considered to be between 1% and 2%. Vitiligo is not infectious disease but it cause a lot of emotional distress.

There is a plant called "Viola Tricoloris" = pansy. It is very recommended in treating psoriasis..it also contains aprox 0.3% salicylic acid which is good for the skin but you should limit the quantity of tea cups at 3 per day.

I have very bad psoriasis, and I am about to go on the shot you take 4 times a year. But last week I went to a hair show and found this Hemp seed oil moisturizer and I wanted to see if it could help. I bought it and used it and over night it helped. I am amazed the stuff my doctor gives me didnt work as well as the hemp seed.

Nystatin is for fungal infections, and triamcinolone is for a variety of skin conditions that can cause itchy irritated skin such as eczema. Neither of these can cure herpes, because herpes is a virus. In fact, steroids like triamcinolone should not be used on viral infections like herpes or chicken pox because they reduce your immune system and can make the infection spread.

There are creams that can be used for herpes, and these are antiviral creams. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
