What is psoriasis treatment and what does it do?

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.

Can psoriasis affect the vaginal area?

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).

What shampoo is good for scalp psoriasis?

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.

What are the causes and characteristic lesions of 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.

Is Psoriasis dominant or recessive?

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.
